Reading between the lines, my take on this is that her husband was involved in some shady stuff, perhaps owed money, and she was kidnapped as a result. The fact he SAW her being abducted, and didn't call police until the next morning, says to me he was racking his brains to work out how to get her back without involving police, but failed. The fact she is returning to Guatemala and not her new homeland, and husband, speaks volumes. Do we know if her husband was also from Guatemala, or an American? Perhaps she was lured to America by her husband for nefarious reasons?

All speculation and my thoughts only.

Initial reports state that Jackelin and her husband moved to Auburn from Guatemala about four months ago. So IMO, he was also Guatemalan and she moved to the US with him willingly. MOO

Poor thing, I wish she and her child the best. I hope she’s safe and back with her family soon. What a terrifying experience.

She was found safe in Mexico. LE says she was a victim of illegal activity that she was not involved in.

Organized criminals collecting on a debt accrued during the move to Auburn process?

What? Who kidnapped her? Did she want to go home, did her family want her home? I have to say this is confusing. IMO

My personal feeling was her husband (and thus, her) came here using illegal means, something happened and she was taken as a result of that, likely something she had little knowledge of or any control over. I'm just glad she is safe and will be returned to loved ones who will do their best to keep her and the baby safe.

IMO, I actually thought maybe her family was behind this getting her home. Just a thought

MPIA mentions she had been trafficked to Mexico. Quote
“Kidnapped at Gunpoint, she was then trafficked to Mexico! One person has been arrested in connection with the woman's disappearance, Police believe more people may be involved.”

Maybe it’s just my pre-coffee brain, but the story is as clear as mud.

So now we have a minor who borrows large sums of money from her husband and was also in the home and taken by armed men?

What is really going on here?

 

[HoneyBunOne]

It seems to have taken a long time for this to come to light. Why the secrecy around this person's name? Could the story of borrowed money be a lie? Could this person actually be involved in the kidnapping? So many questions.
