Missing Brothers Recovered In Mexico
Diego and Luis Ortega are back on U.S. soil after cops say their fugitive father, Jose Luis Ortega, shot the boys' mother and took the siblings on the run.
Police believe that within hours after reaching Ortega on his cell phone on Sunday night, he and the boys were most likely already across the Mexican border.
Early this morning, Ortega's father called his brother who lived in Tijuana, Mexico and was told that Diego and Luis were safe and sound.
Los Angeles detectives recovered the boys at a McDonald's restaurant at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Currently, police believe that Jose Luis Ortega may be in Sinaloa, Mexico.
