MEXICO CITY - The U.S. Embassy in Mexico says a missionary couple from Texas have been slain in their home outside the violence-plagued northern industrial city of Monterrey. The embassy identified the couple as John and Wanda Casias.
Valerie Alirez, the eldest child of John Casias, told The Associated Press from her home in Greeley, Colorado, that one of her brothers found her father and stepmother dead in their home in the town of Santiago. The family was originally from Amarillo, Texas, but relatives said John and Wanda Casias moved to Mexico in the late 1970s or early 1980s and made it their home. Alirez says her father was a Baptist preacher and the couple ran the First Fundamentalist Independent Baptist Church in Santiago.
