Kansas Missionary Kidnaped
The father of Patricia Erb, a 19 year old American girl kidnapped in Argentina, says Sen Humphrey has called to help but there is no news of his daughter. Patricia, from Jackson Minnesota, was taken from Floresta near Buenos Aires 11 days ago by armed men in civilian clothes. Eric Erb, a Mennonite missionary from Hesston Kansas, says the kidnappers may be linked to ultra right wing groups fighting leftists. The U.S. Embassy confirms the kidnapping but Argentine officials have not acknowledged it publicly. Ambassadors discussed the case with Argentine leaders, while tensions over human rights and political arrests strain ties.
