HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The
missing woman who was at the center of a police investigation was found safe
Monday evening. Now investigators are searching for answers into why she was
taken.
Families
in one northeast Houston neighborhood are still upset but are also relieved
that this abduction ended with the victim being found alive and unharmed.
Investigators say at about 11:30am Monday, 29-year-old Elsa
Yaneth Munos Romero was running down Shot well Street, madly yelling for help
and saying that someone was trying to kill her. She even went to one home and
knocked on the door. When the homeowner opened it, he says she threw her
Honduran passport at him and was taken into an SUV by a man and a woman.
The witness said both of the man and woman who took her had
MS-13 gang tattoos. MS-13 is an particularly violent gang, heavily involved in
human trafficking, prostitution and other illegal activity.
"You see little kids running up and down trying to be
in gangs, but I've never heard of MS-13 being here in this neighborhood,"
neighbor Yolanda Gonzales said.
"I've never noticed or seen any violence at all. It's
always quiet," neighbor Monica Rios said. At about 7:30 Monday, HPD homicide detectives confirmed
they had located Romero unharmed, and they are interviewing her for details
about the abduction.
