Search launched for Texas mother and her kids who disappeared in Mexico

A search has been launched for a Texas woman and her two children who went missing over a week ago while visiting her ill father in Mexico.  

Gladys Pérez, 39, and her children, 16-year-old Juan González and nine-year-old Michelle Durán reportedly disappeared June 13 while driving from Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León to their home in Laredo, Texas via a highway that connects Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo.

Surveillance footage obtained by Univision shows González stepping into the front passenger seat of his mother's 2014 yellow Chevrolet Sonic with Texas license plates NBX-4740.

Gladys Pérez traveled to Sabinas Hidalgo, Mexico, with her son, Juan González, and her daughter, Michelle Duran, to visit her father, who is ill. Her nephew, José Pérez, told Univision and Mexico television network Televisa Monterrey that his relatives were driving back to Laredo, Texas, on June 13 via Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo highway and that phone calls to them went unanswered. The family filed a report with authorities in the state of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, which borders with the victims' hometown of Laredo. The FBI is involved in the investigation. The three victims are all citizens of the United States.
