Kidnapped security expert's family ends silence

Felix Batista disappeared December 10 from a restaurant in Mexico -- a case that made international headlines because of its irony. The anti-kidnapping expert was kidnapped, authorities said, and no one has heard from him since.

Batista's family members, who live in Miami, Florida, have not heard from him or his kidnappers. There have been no demands for ransom. No contact at all.

Maybe he just wanted to get away from it all for Christmas...?
(I'll bet he'll turn up somewhere... like Turtle Island or something)
