Zailey’s Mother Says She Started Getting Ransoms For Low Amounts
Her alleged boyfriend, 43-year-old Ricardo De La Torre, had sent screenshots to her mother of a Facebook page filled with posts about Zailey, and that the person behind the page is the one asking Reed for ransom money.
De La Torre added that he and her daughter had travelled to Tijuana to look at apartments, before she started acting strange and suddenly disappeared.
Reed, who admits her daughter has a history of drug abuse and mental illness, says she has been mostly estranged from Zailey over the last three years.
While her mother says she had pulled dramatic stunts in the past, this situation seemed more extreme she said.
Meanwhile, the FBI is currently involved in the case alongside the U.S. Embassy in Tijuana.
