 Police in Mexico have detained three people in connection with the disappearance on 26 May of a group of 12 revellers from a bar in Mexico City. Before Tuesday's announcement, the relatives of the missing people -- one of them only 16 years old -- insisted that they had been kidnapped from the after-hours bar in Mexico City's Zona Rosa entertainment district. A mass kidnapping would be a significant development because even through the years of drug cartel violence, the capital was a relatively safe place. More than 26,000 people have gone missing in Mexico over the past six years as violence surged and the country's government cracked down on drug cartels, according to Mexico's Interior Ministry.
– A mysterious case persists in Mexico City, where a dozen young people seem to have simply vanished from a bar in broad daylight. Their parents say police haven't done enough since their children—the youngest of whom is 16—went missing early May 26, because they come from a poor neighborhood. Since then, the story has made headlines around the world, and police today arrested two waiters from the bar and another woman; they're still looking for the bar's owner, who is now considered a fugitive, reports the BBC. The parents insist the disappearance was a kidnapping. But investigators say there is no evidence of an abduction, and only one person on the scene claims to have seen anything—in his telling, masked gunmen stormed the bar and seized the group, but he has since disappeared, leaving behind a false name and contact info. To make things twistier, three of the missing young people are related to crime bosses currently in prison, fueling theories that a rival gang may be involved. And a CNN report makes things twistier still: Police say they've identified no fingerprints from any of the missing on the bottles or glasses found at the bar.
