DASO: Honduran woman released after held hostage in Anthony, New Mexico mobile home

UPDATE: Doña Ana County officials say a Honduran woman was released from a mobile home after being held hostage for nearly a month and a half.

Officials say they were working off a tip from her sister who called from Maryland, saying an unknown man was demanding $1,000 to release her sister. The Maryland woman said the male threatened to kill her sister if the money was not paid.

Deputies responded to 25 Warthen Road and set up a perimeter around several mobile homes.

According to officials, after 45 minutes, the Maryland woman's sister exited one of the mobile homes.

Detectives say the victim disclosed five other Hondurans had also been held against their will but were released within the last two days.

Officials say one search warrant was served, and they are obtaining a search warrant for an additional home on the property.
