關於UUU的母親下落
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Kidnappers holding the mother of Detroit Tigers pitcher U
gueth Urbina have demanded a $3 million ransom, but have not contacted the fami
ly in several weeks, Venezuelan police said Tuesday.
Ten police detectives in an anti-kidnapping unit are on the case and believe 54
-year-old Maura Villarreal is still being held hostage. Police said the strateg
y of making no contact is a common ploy used by kidnappers in the South America
n country.
Urbina's mother disappeared from her home on the outskirts of Caracas on Sept.
1. Police have said they believe she was taken by four men who arrived wearing
police uniforms.
Police also have said they believe a mechanic who happened to be working on a m
otorcycle at the house was taken away along with Urbina's mother.
A senior police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it had been
difficult for the family to accept police involvement because they fear for Vil
larreal's life.
The official confirmed Venezuelan news reports that the amount of ransom demand
ed was about $3 million, but he also said the figure had varied over time and t
hat initially the kidnappers had demanded $6 million.
Urbina left the Tigers in September to travel to Venezuela following his mother
's disappearance. He has declined comment on the case.
On Nov. 5, Detroit exercised a $4 million option on the reliever, who was 4-6 w
ith a 4.50 ERA and 21 saves in his first season with Detroit.
Urbina, ninth in the American League with 21 saves, has a record of 39-43 with
a 3.42 ERA and 227 saves in 10 seasons.
