A former LDS Church leader is no longer in the custody of Mexican gunmen who kidnapped him at his ranch near Janos, Chihuahua.
Professional bull rider Rocky McDonald said Wednesday that the kidnapping of his uncle, Meredith Romney, has been resolved, according to a spokeswoman for the Colorado-based Professional Bull Riders Inc.
Romney was president of the Colonia Juárez Chihuahua Temple from 1999 to 2004, according to Ensign magazine church news reports archived on the LDS Church Web site.
According to McDonald, gunmen shot out the tires of Romney's truck and forced him into their vehicle, leaving his wife and grandson behind, the network reported.
