TIJUANA, MEXICO (BP)--More than a week has passed since San Diego pastor Manuel Jesus Tec was kidnapped Oct 21 in Tijuana, and his family still has not talked with or heard from him
Originally, the kidnappers demanded a $1-million ransom for Tec's release, but in two calls Monday night, Oct 27, the kidnappers lowered that figure to $500,000 and subsequently to $200,000
"Last night, we also heard a recording of his voice saying he was OK, and he asked us to do all that the kidnappers told us to do because his life was at risk," Tec's 30-year-old son Johnny said Oct 28
Pastor Manuel Tec, 59, was kidnapped after crossing the border from San Diego into Tijuana with wife Maria and his younger son Giovanni Gunmen stopped the car around 5 am and forcibly abducted Tec, but left his wife and son free and unhurt
The kidnappers contacted the Tec family for the fourth time Sunday night, Oct 26, "trying to be intimidating," Johnny Tec said He said the kidnappers have not allowed him or his mother to talk to Manuel since abducting him
