i told him how much i loved him and that i would do anything to get him back. the hardest thing i'll ever have to do. we immediately were hit from behind. >> an attack in broad daylight. >> he just points the gun at my forehead. i said to him was, "please don't kill me, i have three children." >> her husband kidnapped and held hostage. >> i couldn't even eat. where was he? how was he being treated? was he even alive? >> she would have to save him. >> my husband's life was on the line. i needed to be very careful and very smart with the choices i was about to make.

it was absolutely bizarre. we were both playing a role. >> the performance of her life. could she bring him back from the shadows? >> i don't think anything could have prepared me for what i saw. ♪ ♪ >> honestly i was living my dreams and then some. >> reporter: it was a perfect morning, a brilliant sunny day in june. in a place that felt like paradise. >> i'd be packing lunches the kids getting dressed. >> reporter: they'd pile into the jeep for the short drive to school. fernando, the eldest, would ride the four wheeler out ahead of them. in the car, they'd sing with the little ones just like always. no idea what was waiting.

what was about to happen here in paradise. she, the woman who went through it, the one you're about to meet, is jayne. j.a.y.n.e., a detail that will matter later. and she must have been a beautiful baby. this baby, in fact. this is her first tv commercial at 7 months for the red cross. and there she is in a mcdonald's commercial back when she was a high school student in silver spring, maryland. >> my whole life i had worked as an actress and did a lot of tv commercials, bit roles in movies and soap operas. >> i don't care if i get wrinkles. >> reporter: that's jayne on the big screen beside bette midler in the movie "stella." >> she had robert real interested for a while. >> acting skills. they would become, as you shall

see, life or death crucial. but then, we can't know the future, can we? not when life seems perfect and safe and strong? >> it's kind of like one of these fairy-tale stories. >> reporter: or at least it was then, it was 1992. she was 25. and it was unexpected, unanticipated, like some bizarre lottery of life. jayne was at a pay phone in a washington, d.c., suburb, she just happened to lock eyes with a divorced art dealer named eduardo valseca. eduardo, who she would find out, was one of the nine children of jose garcia valseca, mexican newspaper baron, who 50 years ago ruled a publishing empire. would be an equivalent in the u.s. of who? >> william randolph hearst. an article published in "newsweek" in 1950 says that he actually had a larger readership at that point in time than hearst did. >> reporter: that's when garcia valseca ran his papers from a luxury pullman train car. the one which, decades later,

eduardo owned. though, when he invited this beautiful woman he'd just met to mexico for a train ride, she had no idea that the train was his. >> we're walking toward it and this man comes out with a white jacket, white gloves, black bowtie with a silver tray, i was just completely speechless. >> reporter: she soon discovered that the train car was about all eduardo had of family fortune. the rest, along with the newspaper empire, had long since withered away. but jayne fell for a man, not money, and what eduardo lacked in fortune he replaced with laughter and passion and a huge enveloping personality. jayne was in love, and soon married, and swept off to mexico, to a fresh place for a new life, new roots, new family. and that famous name, valseca. one thing the legacy did afford them was the chance to live

pretty much anywhere they wanted to. and eduardo suggested a town in north central mexico called san miguel de allende, 450 years old, rich obviously in history, but also in culture and art. a place so desirable and so lovely that almost 10% of the population is composed of people who moved here from some other country. she rubbed shoulders here with other expatriate americans, and canadians, europeans. and fell hard for mexico. here, far away from the notorious crime of mexico city. >> we didn't feel threatened. i would say that san miguel then and perhaps even now is probably statistically as safe or safer than many of our u.s. towns and small cities. >> reporter: and here they built a business in real estate, buying old places, tarting them up, selling again. and, of course, having children. >> it had been a big dream of mine to live in the country and

to have a big organic garden and fruit trees and horses and lots of animals for the kids to play with. it was luck when this place came up, or what felt like luck, before that terrible morning. it was a rundown 1,000-acre ranch. and it was in foreclosure. they bought it for, well, it was embarrassingly cheap. >> it was a great deal, but at the time it was a pile of rocks, literally. every little bit of money that we made, everything we could manage to save we started putting into the ranch. >> reporter: they even found and restored a magnificent old fountain that once sat on the long lost valseca estate. and no surprise, part of their building plan involved that stately old railroad car. >> one of the marvelous parts about ending up with this piece of property was it just happened that railroad went right through it. >> reporter: jayne was behind their home movie camera as the car was towed to its new home on the ranch. >> we're so happy on the train. >> reporter: and happy here.

they built a real ranch house among the mesquite trees and surrounded it with fine big gates. outbuildings, a garden for her, a riding ring and fine spanish horses for him. and for three growing children, a magic place, happy and secure. fernando. emiliano. and baby nayah. the children were the heart of it, really. they'd do anything for the children. so jayne told eduardo about an education system called waldorf schools, not then available in san miguel. >> and he said, "well, let's bring the school to mexico." so we formed a parent group and got moving on founding a school. >> reporter: they donated land, part of the ranch, recruited other families, built the school. >> we started with a couple of classrooms. actually they were originally going to be stables for horses, and we converted them into classrooms. >> reporter: and now, every morning, the quarter-mile

commute down their own quiet country lane to school had become a family ritual. >> we'd go out the door, get in the jeep, and the morning routine was singing all the way to school. which was really the only routine that we had. >> reporter: fernando had a pet donkey then, road it to school. that or a four-wheeler, always out ahead. >> we would follow along and the kids would love to sing the same songs, they never tired of singing the same ones every morning. >> reporter: so now it was that perfect morning june 2007. and they bumped and sang, noisy and happy, down the dusty road. and of course they did not understand, how could they, that this was the last moment of pure innocence any of them would ever know. >> i mean, immediately we're hit from behind. >> a violent awakening. >> he held the gun to my head.

life was go good for so long that it was almost like living it was almost like on a daily basis, pinch me is this real? >> reporter: it was june 2007. a bright sunny morning. two weeks before summer vacation. minutes before the terror. eduardo and jayne valseca and their three children arrived at the country school not far from their ranch house outside

san miguel de allende in mexico. >> as we pulled into the parking lot, i noticed that there was a small, compact car in the far corner of the parking lot. and there was a man at the wheel who had a fisherman's cap, khaki color on and glasses. >> reporter: a prospective parent, perhaps, for next year's class? jayne walked the children to their classrooms. she stopped at the school office. >> and asked the administrator if she knew who the gentleman was or if he needed help. and she looked over and looked across the parking lot and said, "i don't know who he is. he must be waiting for someone." >> reporter: eduardo was behind the wheel of the jeep, listening to the radio. the stranger's car was beyond it, at the back of the lot. >> as i walked to the jeep where my husband was, i looked across and made eye contact with them and actually smiled, and he smiled back. >> reporter: eduardo put the jeep in gear, pulled away. the strange car fell in behind them. >> a pickup truck comes out of nowhere. it catches up to us, and the man

driving turns and looks at us and the look was really scary. >> reporter: you saw him? >> we both got this creepy feeling. just the way the man looked at us. >> reporter: now that strange car and the pickup truck raced to positions beside and in front of the jeep. >> eduardo said, "something is definitely not right. what is this guy doing?" >> reporter: and then in moments it was obvious. jayne and eduardo were being chased, herded like cattle into a chute with no escape. >> in the distance we see the compact car, which has raced up our interior road, cut in front. >> reporter: here she relived it, the horrified moment as the car in front of them suddenly stopped, and eduardo slammed on his brakes. >> immediately we were hit from behind. it was a split second and there was a man coming out of the passenger side of the car coming at eduardo, and he's got a hammer in one hand and a handgun in the next. >> reporter: the masked man shattered the window and landed a hard blow to eduardo's head that sent blood gushing down his

face. >> the first thing i started thinking of was my children. are my children going to lose their parents right now? >> reporter: a second attacker ran at jayne, yanked open her door, pulled her from the jeep. she screamed, kicked at him, grabbed the fence beside her. the barbed wire sliced through her finger. her attacker forced her down. >> while i'm laying on the ground he just points the gun at my forehead and tells me in spanish to get up. the first thing i said to him was, "please don't kill me, i have three children." >> reporter: then they hustled jayne and eduardo into a waiting suv. unseen accomplices snapped pillowcases over their heads and tightly bound their hands and feet. >> eduardo was hysterical. i don't think he was completely hearing me. he probably had a concussion. >> reporter: the suv sped away. jayne tried to comfort eduardo. one of the abductors threatened more pain. >> he kept yelling at him, "shut up, you [ bleep ], or i'll give you another one." and you could tell he was trying to disguise his voice. >> reporter: within minutes, word of the attack got back to

the school. something was wrong. a teacher rushed to the now-abandoned jeep. >> i went with my partner and the left window was all broken and blood was in the ground. i had a feeling it was a kidnapping. >> reporter: in the suv, under that gagging pillowcase, jayne struggled to breathe. she reached out for eduardo. >> i felt blood all down his arm. >> reporter: then she felt the blood pouring from her own slashed finger. she tried to memorize each bump and turn as the suv veered onto the highway toward san miguel, then, minutes later, pulled over, stopped. someone yanked eduardo from the suv. he screamed. >> i hear the doors of the vehicle open and after i hear them shut i can no longer hear my husband's muffled screams. then i hear what sounds like the engine of that car revving as if it's pulling away. >> reporter: jayne managed to lift the pillowcase hood in time to see eduardo vanish. >> i am able to make out the type of car that it is, more or

less, and i memorize the license plates. >> reporter: and just as quickly, she realized she was alone. they'd all left. >> i was bound so i threw myself over the seat, ended up in the floor, pulled myself up, opened the door and literally hopped as if i was in a sack race to the highway in flip-flops. >> reporter: an elderly man stopped to help. he had a machete but no cell phone to call police. frantically, jayne tried to flag down passing cars. all hit the accelerator, not the brake. >> and i'm begging them to please stop and help me, but i imagine it looked pretty scary to see a woman bleeding, desperate, bound in duct tape next to a guy with a machete. >> reporter: then in sheer desperation jayne stepped in front of an oncoming bus. >> he was coming this way. i jumped in front and i just put my hands up like this. and i hoped he would stop. >> reporter: but no cell phone on the bus, either. now the bus driver flagged down a taxi. and the taxi driver called the

police. >> now all of this information is going from the police to the taxi driver, the taxi driver to the dispatcher, the dispatcher to the police, to the dispatcher and the whole way around. it was like playing telephone. >> reporter: was there still time for the police to seal off the town, save her husband? >> and i thought, because i have this description and the plates, i thought for sure they would just run off in every direction, seal off san miguel, and we'd have him, end of story. but it didn't go that way. >> reporter: no, it didn't. jayne says the police tried one escape highway, no other. and no eduardo. he had been kidnapped. >> these people carried this whole operation out with such precision and such surprising professionalism, which seems a strange word to even use. >> reporter: how long did it take them? >> seconds. they were cool as cucumbers. >> reporter: but that was just the first clue. on the ground beside the suv in which the kidnappers abandoned jayne, was another, inside an envelope addressed to jayne.

>> the first thing that went through my mind, i realized that they spelled my name correctly. my name is jayne, spelled with a "y." so it was really scary to see on the envelope that they'd spelled my name right. >> reporter: nobody spells your name right? >> no, no. >> reporter: and inside the envelope? >> the ransom note says, "senora, go home, open this e-mail with this password. and we have eduardo. eduardo is with us. wait for our message to arrive." >> reporter: it was then she understood. the kidnappers had been watching them, stalking them, researching every small detail. >> it immediately made me realize i needed to be very careful and very smart about the choices i was about to make. my husband's life was on the line. >> reporter: coming up, what would she tell her children. >> it was the hardest thing i ever had to do. >> reporter: and who would she turn to help. >> i thought this is what you're sending me to deal with this? .

>> reporter: jayne valseca sat in the dirt by the highway on the outskirts of san miguel de allende. a cop helped her strip away the duct tape round her hands and feet. as he told her that her husband's kidnappers had

escaped, she tried to staunch the blood from her injured finger, gashed on that barbed-wire fence. she tried to tamp down the terror that grabbed at her throat because she knew what had happened to others. >> my husband was kidnapped on 2001. >> reporter: this woman had already told her horrifying story. >> and every time that we would tell that we don't have the money, so, they cut a finger and they send us the finger. >> reporter: but that was mexico city, one of the kidnapping capitals of the world, where jayne had heard that thousands are snatched every year, wealthy and poor, from mansions, the backs of taxis, from taco stands. >> the kidnapping situation in mexico is outrageous. >> reporter: this woman, ana maria salazar, had been reporting it for years on tv. the breakdown of law and order, the mess in police forces. >> you don't have a criminal justice system that has the ability to go after all these people. but the other problem is

corruption. there's corrupt cops at the federal level. there's corrupt cops at the state level. and there's corrupt cops at the municipal level. people just don't trust their cops. >> reporter: which is why, she says, so many kidnappings go unreported, making it impossible to know just how many thousands take place in mexico. but this was safe little san miguel, where eduardo had always said -- >> do you think anybody's going to come out here in the country? that's not going to happen. >> reporter: but it had happened. and all she could think of was finding help fast. >> i'm sitting there in the dirt in need of stitches, and i -- at that point i have two cell phones going. >> reporter: but why? wouldn't the police just take over? well, no. not in mexico. jayne herself, in this supremely vulnerable moment, would have to decide which police, if any, she could trust to get her husband back. >> you can allow the local or state police to handle the

situation. you can go to the mexican equivalent of the fbi which is the afi or afee as they're called here and let them handle it on a federal level or you can go to a private consultant that you pay out of -- out of your own pocket and they will negotiate it privately. >> you don't know what to do when someone's saying, hey i'm selling you back your daughter. >> reporter: jayne had heard about other kidnappings. like the one seven years earlier when kidnappers snatched this man's 25-year-old daughter, and in minutes he had to make the impossible decision. >> i knew i should go with the police, the problem was which police. one of the toughest gangs was headed by the police who was in charge of the anti-kidnapping group. so with that in mind i knew i couldn't go with the state police. >> reporter: he chose the

federal police, who negotiated with the kidnappers, arranged a ransom payment. and still, in the transfer, could not prevent the murder of his daughter. what was jayne to do? she'd heard all the stories. sometimes police themselves were involved in kidnappings. >> i knew that there was a possibility that -- that yes, there were people that i -- that were perhaps right there with me -- >> and you -- >> -- that i could not trust. >> right, and you'd know that the experience of -- of well healed people had been go to this private organization, it'll take care of you. >> right. >> reporter: so as cars whizzed by and the dirt-caked blood dried on her skin, jayne placed calls all around the world to private companies that specialize in kidnap negotiation. >> they knew all the questions to ask. they said, "how many vehicles were -- were involved? what did the note say? can you describe the people? what did their guns look like?" >> reporter: must be a sophisticated operation, they told jayne. negotiating would be difficult and expensive. at least 2,500 hundred u.s. dollars a day plus expenses, far

more than she could afford. she wondered, could the state police help her? she asked them how successful they'd been solving kidnappings. >> they said, "oh yeah, we've -- we've resolved 100%." and i said, really? so, does that mean you got 100% of the victims back and you caught the bad guys? and they said, "yes. eventually we've gotten all of them." it really made me feel very uneasy and untrusting. because i know that 100% of the parking violations don't get resolved. >> reporter: there was only one choice left. the mexican version of the fbi, the a.f.i., or afee, the elite unit of the federal police, which might at least might get eduardo back alive. >> reporter: so she made the call, went back at the ranch, cleaned up her wounds and braced herself to tell the children. the two youngest would be satisfied temporarily with a story about eduardo being on a

business trip. but not fernando, then 12. he had to be told. and anyway, she needed him now. >> it was very, very tough. try explaining to a child that his father's just been stolen for money. the hardest thing i'll ever have to do. >> i'd never seen my mom like that. she looked like if the worse thing happened to her. >> reporter: he's grown fast since his father was kidnapped. even so, for his own safety, we're hiding his face. >> i asked her was it by criminals or what do you mean taken? and she said he was kidnapped and that's all she said. and i just stood quiet. i couldn't believe it. >> how did he take it? >> devastated. i just said to him, you know,

you have to know that i will do everything humanly possible to get your father back. if it takes everything we have, everything i can humanly do. >> reporter: fernando was just a boy. but not for much longer. he fled to his special spot, his private place, away from the house. >> i got on my motorcycle and went up to this rock. it's a pretty big rock and it overlooks our ranch. i just started crying. >> reporter: it was later when he learned this was likely the place the kidnappers used to spy on his family. he never went back. now it was evening. >> i'm hoping that i'll get home like they told me, i'll open the e-mail, there will be a message and whatever i have access to, they can have it all, okay, just give him back. so i'm -- i'm at that point hoping this is gonna be open and shut deal in less than 24 hours. >> reporter: jayne got ready for the arrival of the federal afi

agent. the federal police had promised he would move in right away and live on the ranch until he got eduardo back. she felt like she was waiting for the cavalry to arrive. she let hope grow. >> i expected him to roll in in some kind of bulletproof suburban and be big and burly and hopefully a little mature and having done this quite a while. >> reporter: and then, at 3:00 am, the afi agent called. could someone come and pick him up in town, he asked? he had come from mexico city by bus. >> he looked like a high school or maybe freshman in college student with a backpack, a baseball cap, glasses, tiny, and i thought, what is going on? you mean this is what you're sending me to deal with this? and so the first things i asked him after shaking his hand was, are you armed? and he said no.

and i said, why not, for god's sake? >> reporter: seasoned criminals had engineered a seamless plan to steal her husband. and all she had on her side was a short skinny kid with no apparent backup, no car and no gun. >> coming up, the kidnappers send a message from the shadows. they have a demand impossible to meet. >> now i'm thinking they're just going to kill him.

♪ ♪ ♪ >> reporter: jayne stared at the kid from afi with what could only be described as dismay.

her husband eduardo had been kidnapped. she'd gone through the whole horrifying ordeal herself, had desperate search for someone to help her.

not just jayne's agent, of course. >> we have as many as 25 kidnappings at a time. >> reporter: still, she might have been re-assured by this. a state of the art lab on standby to identify the voices of any kidnappers who might call you. we have 2,374 voices related with kidnappings and extortions. but on day one, all that expertise coughed up only this piece of very bad news the people who grabbed eduardo? were almost certainly said the police part of a fringe marxist political group called the epr. one detail was striking from the beginning.

left on eduardo's carseat was a brand new hammer. was it the weapon used in the attack or something else? >> i found out that it was it was actually a calling card and that that's not unusual and that this group always leaves behind a hammer, which really gave me the creeps. >> reporter: jayne's agent considered the evidence and made a prediction. >> you need to brace yourself and pace yourself because this is not gonna be over in 24 hours, like you'd like. as a matter of fact, this is not a matter of days or weeks. based on previous experience with this particular group, if -- this is going to be months, if you're lucky. >> reporter: what was it like to hear that? >> i thought i was gonna go crazy. i thought for sure i'd have a nervous breakdown right then and there. >> she just had this face i can't describe it. it was terrible. it looked like a dead person. i was just so scared.

and i put my bed and my brother's bed together and i slept with him. >> reporter: what was it like going to bed that first night, >> there was no going to bed. i couldn't -- i couldn't even eat. where was my husband? what kind of conditions was he in? how was he being treated? was he even alive? how do you sleep? there was no way. >> reporter: in historic san miguel, though eduardo was a prominent local citizen, life went on as if nothing had happened. even though he had been a known anti-poverty activist. a panelist on a local tv show. in fact, this is a recording of the very broadcast aired the night before he was taken. this is the host of the show, back then san miguel's mayor and co-owner of the tv station. but what was she able to do free eduardo, or find his kidnappers? not a thing. how often was it reported on the

television or radio? >> no, we never said anything. >> reporter: a request, she said, from the federal police. >> they said no comments in the radio station, no comments in the channel because we don't want these people to be afraid or whatever. and they could do something to eduardo. so it was like mouth closed. everybody was acting as if nothing was happening. >> reporter: everybody, perhaps, but jayne, who's need for information was making her crazy. remember, the kidnappers said, go home, you'll get an e-mail with our demands. but on day one there was no e-mail, nor on day two, nor three, nor day four. and then after five full days and nights of sleepless torture, jayne turned on her computer and read the news.

>> we hope the senora has arrived well to her house. for the liberation of eduardo we are demanding the amount of $8 million u.s. dollars. >> reporter: $8 million. send the money, said the e-mail, in u.s. currency. $100 bills, unmarked. >> and now i'm thinking they're just going to kill him. because i didn't have that kind of cash. >> reporter: but remember what happened to that other woman's husband, when she told kidnappers she couldn't meet their demands? >> they cut a finger and they send us the finger. >> reporter: wealth is relative of course, and can often be an illusion. anybody familiar be with the idyllic ranch here outside san miguel, anybody who had heard about eduardo, scion of a famous publishing empire, might quite reasonably have assumed that he was among mexico's superrich. but that would be a mistake. it was the mistake the kidnappers made, a mistake that was about to become jaynes very serious practical problem. >> i didn't have access to anything, really, beyond our what was in our checking account.

>> reporter: the fact of the matter was the valsecas were house poor. they'd put everything they had into the ranch. and at recession prices, even if she could sell it, she'd get a small fraction of $8 million. there in the dining room, jayne showed the e-mail to her federal agent and realized he was not surprised. >> "you know, jayne, you have to realize that this is the way this works. you're going to be learning the ropes here. they hope to get that amount, but this is where we start negotiating." >> reporter: the kidnappers set the rules. jayne must respond to their e-mails in the want ad section of a specific newspaper. her first ad, they demanded, would go in the "animals and pets" section and read -- "buy a chow chow dog austin, vaccinated with complete pedigree, 8,000 pesos." meaning, of course, $8 million to buy back eduardo. they started out at $8 million, what did you respond? >> basically went out saying

we're very concerned for the puppy's wellbeing, we don't want any harm to come to him, mixed into the words. and your request is beyond our economic possibilities. >> reporter: j
