In the below post, "Tragedy Strikes Tamale Family", we bemoaned the disappearance of 3 tamales who were on their way to the East Coast to begin a new life. Well, good news! The 3 have been located! They are lucky carrots indeed.
Thanks to the Tamale Alert System, which was established & designed to locate missing or abducted tamales, the 3 lads have been found. For what ever reason, they are in the custody of the U. S. Post Office & are being detained in their local office. At the same time, American Values received a notice from the Post Office that they are being held there. In what we can only assume is a ransom note, the Post Office left instructions for us to go to their office this Monday. They unreasonably demand a signature for the release of the 3. But if that is the price we must pay for their release then we will gladly pay it.
There was no information on the lads' conditions. We are concerned because they have not eaten, nor been eaten, since they left the safety of rain-swept California. We can only hope & pray for the best. Meanwhile, family members are in the process of being notified that their loved ones have indeed been located. We will keep you updated on further events as they transpire.
Tamale Alert volunteers celebrate the good news
