It is approximately a three hour drive from there to Montemorelos. The two sisters reside in the Texas town. It is unclear where Saenz lives. <\/p>\n<p>The husband of one of the women told police he had spoken to his wife by phone while she was traveling to Mexico. He became concerned when he couldn&#8217;t reach her afterward and reported her missing to police. <\/p>\n<p>Officials at the state prosecutor&#8217;s office said they have been investigating the women&#8217;s disappearance since Monday, and the FBI said Friday it was aware of the matter. Authorities have remained largely quiet about the case otherwise, something Bermea said Friday was a result of the being an international matter. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We did contact the FBI to let them know the ladies were considered missing,&#8221; Bermea <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.krgv.com\/news\/fbi-notified-of-pe-itas-women-who-disappeared-after-traveling-to-mexico-police-chief-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> local station KRGV, adding that there&#8217;s &#8220;not much we can do ourselves&#8221; in a missing persons case in another country. <\/p>\n<p>The Attorney General&#8217;s Office of Nuevo Le\u00f3n, which is leading the investigation, said Tuesday that U.S. authorities had not intervened in the search because the women are Mexican nationals living in the U.S., rather than American citizens missing abroad. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\"> <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"443\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"443\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"372\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"372\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"612\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"612\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">                 Maritza Trinidad Perez Rios, Marina Perez Rios, and Dora Alicia Cervantes Saenz have been missing since Feb. 24.                <\/figcaption><div class=\"Figure-credit\" itemprop=\"author\">                 AP                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The office said in a statement at the time that search operations for the women were being carried out daily, and that drones, all-terrain vehicles, and canines had been deployed. The statement also revealed that investigators are attempting to coordinate with authorities in the neighboring state of Tamaulipas to strengthen the search there, noting that the women&#8217;s families believe &#8220;that the event occurred there.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Coverage of the women&#8217;s disappearance has been scant, especially in comparison to the high-profile <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense-national-security\/cartel-attack-us-citizens-mexico-border-too-close-to-home-texas-republicans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kidnapping and murder<\/a> of U.S. citizens in Mexico&#8217;s northern city of Matamoros earlier this month. The fatal March 3 incident involved four Americans \u2014 Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown, LaTavia Washington McGee, and Eric Williams \u2014 who were reportedly traveling to Mexico for a tummy tuck procedure. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Pictures from the scene showed a sign pointing toward the international bridge in the background, an indication of just how close the attack was to the border.

The four passengers were pulled from their van, loaded into a pickup truck, and taken away by heavily armed narcos. <\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s massive search for the group involved squads of Mexican soldiers and National Guard troops.
