EL PASO — A body found with its severed arms crossed and placed on its chest in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was identified by authorities Wednesday as a Texas man kidnapped from his home.
Sergio Saucedo, 30, was kidnapped from his Horizon City house outside El Paso last Thursday. His mutilated body was found Tuesday, said El Paso County Sheriff's spokesman Jesse Tovar.
"It's apparent that the spillover has occurred," Tovar said of the drug violence plaguing Juarez and much of Mexico.
Saucedo, who has a long criminal record including convictions for drug possession and money laundering, was kidnapped by three men, investigators said. His wife told deputies the men broke into the house, bound Saucedo with duct tape and carried him out the back door to the driveway, where he was stuffed into a dark sport utility vehicle with no license plates.
Witnesses reported hearing at least one gun shot and said Saucedo struggled with his attackers as he yelled for help.
Saucedo's body was found dumped in the street late Tuesday with his severed arms placed on top of a cardboard sign on his chest, said Arturo Sandoval, spokesman for a regional prosecutor's office in Juarez. He said the killers stuffed plastic bags into Saucedo's mouth and taped his eyes.
The sign was immediately removed and authorities have not revealed what it said. Drug cartels often leave messages with victims they kill.
Ciudad Juarez is Mexico's deadliest city with more than 1,300 drug-related killings this year.
El Paso investigators believe Saucedo was killed in Mexico, but a specific motive for the kidnapping and killing remained unclear Wednesday, Tovar said.
Court records show Saucedo, who has used various aliases, had been convicted of money laundering, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, trafficking marijuana and other drugs... ___

Finally!
The good news is that in this case Mexico took out the trash.
But the bad news is that they are bold enough to do so.
So, Mexicans are cleaning up our sickos for us?
Why the sudden rush to call Juarez ... “Ciudad Juarez” dosent it just mean City of Juarez? Did some one just look at a map and figured it was what every one called it? No one I know called it “Ciudad Juarez” and I’m from EP.
Considering the rap sheet of the person involved I can’t say I really consider him to be a “victim.”
On a lot of older maps I've seen it called Ciudad Juarez. But the road signs in El Paso all say "Juarez."
yeah more jobs Americans (obama) wont do :-)
The Obamanauts want to give them all amnesty!
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Unfortunately, the drug problem is Mexico is probably directly related to US success stemming the tide of drugs from Columbia.
Snippet (edited to shorten) The Department of Homeland Security ........... has adopted a number of measures that represent a significant backsliding on national security.......... the public may think its safety is in good hands. however, recent actions concerning the illegal alien population and the flow of foreign nationals into and out of the country are examined, a very different picture emerges.
The areas in which rhetoric and action widely diverge include:
• A willingness to abandon progress on implementation of a secure identification system based on state-issued driver's licenses using national standards for verification of "breeder" documents and electronic exchange of information among the states and the federal government.
• Restriction of federal-local cooperation in the apprehension of foreigners illegally in the country.
• Abandonment of a system to discourage further illegal immigration based on curtailing job opportunities for those in the country illegally.
• Pursuit of an amnesty for foreigners illegally in the country which will work at cross-purpose to efforts to gain greater border control by deterring illegal immigration.
While talking toughness on national security, the Obama Administration appears to give a higher priority to its relationship with narrow political interest groups that it courted in the last election than to reducing the nation's exposure to the threat of international terrorism. And, while President Obama's efforts to assure foreigners around the globe that Americans are their friends is commendable, it is no substitute for enhanced homeland security.
But, but they promised this wouldn’t ever spill over !!!
Like is hasn’t been for decades.
bags into mouth
taped his eyes
severed arms
speak no evil
see no evil
do no evil
The "drug problem" in Mexico is directly related to the huge demand for illegal drugs by people in the United States.
The narcotraficantes in Mexico are not killing to supply drugs to addicts in Juarez or Tijuana; they are fighting over control of the illegal drug traffic to the U.S.
Build the wall now! And place Guard units on the boarder.
Correct but supply side remedies are little more than squeezing a balloon. We squeezed the balloon over Columbia and the Mexican part suddenly bulged.
...maybe??
True.
If we really want to hurt the illegal drug trade, we can reduce the demand by going after the users of illegal drugs. Or we can reduce the incentive to engage in illegal activity by decriminalizing the drugs. I doubt there is political will to do either.

“The “drug problem” in Mexico is directly related to the huge demand for illegal drugs by people in the United States.”
Might be ‘related’, but it’s not the cause...Keep Mexicans in Mexico and we won’t have the drug problem we have...did you notice how the drug use has gone up right along with the illegal immigration???
Chicken or egg...Secure the border.
Is it your contention that the drug cartels are simply supplying the demand for drugs by illegal aliens in the United States?
Or are you suggesting that illegal immigration somehow causes U. S. citizens to become drug addicts?
I said what I meant. Mexican illegal aliens are bringing in the drugs, drug usage has increased with the never ending supply.....when the Mexican cartels are not growing them here and burning down hundreds of thousands of acres of our public lands.
Now Mexico has legalized possession of all drugs..even heroin.
More of the ingredients for Meth go to Mexico than anywhere and they bring all that with them....we ‘citizens’ can’t even buy a Sudafed without registering!
Perhaps. But the drug cartels would not be doing these things if it were not for the huge profits to be made in supplying illegal drugs to our fellow Americans.
Mexico has a crime problem, but we have the drug problem.
I agree with you that we must secure our borders. However, that by itself will not stop smuggling, whether of drugs or of people. To accomplish that, something must be done to reduce the demand for drugs and cheap labor.

I would be interested to know the nationality of the “victim.” Was he born in El Paso, or in Mexico? Is he an American citizen, and if not, why was he living in Horizon City? If so, WTF? Are the narcotraficantes buying their way into green cards and permanent residency? Or are native born El Pasoans joining the narcotraficantes in Mexico and living “safely” in the United States? Much left unsaid in this AP story.
I wonder why a person who lives that type of life style doesn’t go armed to the teeth in his own home. I do, and I am not in danger of being offed by drug dealers.
“I agree with you that we must secure our borders. However, that by itself will not stop smuggling, whether of drugs or of people. To accomplish that, something must be done to reduce the demand for drugs and cheap labor.”
The proper forces, shooting a couple of those coyote drug runners would stop this crap in a month. And it would be a lot kinder to the ‘migrants’ who are dying and being raped in that desert. Then the supply drys up. If we must grow dope on public lands, at least let a US citizen do it! The cartels are in my neighborhood fighting EACH OTHER for territory...800 miles from the border.
It’s TOO late to try to rehab millions of addicts. And you know how lousy the government would be at that. The one thing they are capable of is defending our borders...if there was the will.
I would lay odds the victim is an ANCHOR BABY. You know, that second generation of latino immigrants that Geraldo tells us has assimilated so well?????
