Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico - On Friday, the Nuevo Leon Public Ministry confirmed that a lifeless female body found around 6:30 a.m. hanging from a bridge in the municipality of Monterrey is Gabriela Elizabeth Muñiz Tamez, 31. Tamez, aka, "La Pelirroja" (Red head) the convicted leader of a kidnapping/extortion gang was serving prison time in the Topo Chico Prison for mulitple kidnappings and business owners extortions in the Allende municipality.
She was reported missing on Monday, December 27 after an armed commando took her from three prison guards minutes away around 9:00 p.m. from the prison when they were transporting her in a prison vehicle to the University Hospital for an alleged illness. The guards, Jorge Aldala Pereyra, 29, María Dolores Poblano Lugo, 41, and José Luis Moneda Guevarra, 55, were reported unharmed and no gunfired was exchanged. State authorities say that when a dangerous prisoner like Tamez is being transported to any medical facility, more armed guards should have accompanied the prisoner.
State police investigators reported that people waiting for a morning commuter bus at a stop witnessed a group of armed men who stopped over the bridge and took Tamez out of the vehicle while she was still alive, tied a rope around her neck and threw her over the bridge. Investigators reported signs of torture in her body, her upper nude torso had the word "YAIR" written and could have been possibly raped by the killers.
The Nuevo Leon state Attorney General's Office and the Public Ministry are investigating whether the three guards were involved in Tamez being taken from custody. Jorge Domene Zambrano from the Public Ministry said, that at least 61 people are being investigated and questioned in the daring kidnapping and muder of Tamez. Zambrano in a press conference said, that the three guards who accompanied Tamez, Victor Manuel Martinez Martinez, the prison doctor who authorized the medical check up at an outside hospital, 55 Topo Chico prison guards including their supervisor Adrián Guerra Guerra and prison Warden José Rodrigo Martínez Llanes, 44, were being questioned in Tamez Monday's disappearance resulting in murder. "Everyone responsible for aiding in Tamez kidnapping and murder will be dealt with all the severity of the law," Zambrano said.
Tamez was taken into custody on July 6, 2009 and was began serving a prison term for kidnappings and extortions at the Topo Chico Prison on August 7, 2009.
