Family reports threats after disappearance

Noroeste Seguridad reports that the family of Saúl Salvador Inda Echegaray has reported his disappearance and says relatives have received alleged extortion calls and threats. The report says Saúl Salvador disappeared on Aug. 16 in the municipal seat of El Rosario, Sinaloa, after which the family filed a complaint as part of the search. His mother said in a social-media post that the family’s grief had been compounded by calls and messages received during the early morning hours.

Noroeste Seguridad says the mother called on authorities at the municipal, state and federal levels to show empathy toward families affected by disappearances. She questioned whether officials were focused on preparing the national holiday celebrations and said black ribbons should be displayed in Sinaloa municipalities instead of the usual patriotic decorations. Her statements are presented as the family’s account; the supplied record does not include an official response confirming the threats or identifying their source.

The mother also criticized what she described as a lack of contact from El Rosario’s municipal public-security authorities and Mayor Claudia Valdez. She asked where the municipal security director and mayor were and demanded that her son be returned. The report does not provide a verified location for Saúl Salvador, details about the complaint’s status, or evidence establishing who sent the alleged threats.
