• ARRESTS: American authorities have arrested two people in the US linked to the November 4 massacre of three women and six children in Northern Mexico according to family members who met Thursday with the US Ambassador to Mexico, Chris Landau, who briefed them on the probe.
• PROBE: Members of a breakaway Mormon group that settled in Mexico, all victims were US citizens and as such the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is helping Mexican authorities with the probe. So far, neither the US Embassy nor the FBI have confirmed the arrests.
• IMPUNITY: “(The Ambassador) also told us that this case…is his number one priority, and that we had to remain confident that the case will not remain in impunity like so many cases in Mexico”, said family member Bryan LeBaron who attended the meeting with Ambassador Landau.
• SONORA: Last month, the Mexican Attorney General Office confirmed that seven suspects have been arrested in connection with the massacre that happened near the small town of La Mora in the state of Sonora, about three hours south of the Arizona-Mexico border.
