The Swede Was Kidnapped by His In-Law-Relatives?

The Colombian police has informed the Swedish authorities that neither the FARC or the Paramilitary groups are suspected for the abduction of the Swedish citizen, Roland Larsson, age 68, at Tierra Alta, Cordoba, in May.
The Colombian police says that they believe the suspects may be apprehended shortly and are people closely related to the Colombian-Swedish couple.



Cheers,

These pictures were published yesterday in a Swedish newspaper. It looks like the relatives of the Colombian common-law wife orchestrated the disappearance of the Swede.

Oh boy!!!, I bet it was Internet dating! This should be a warning for all the PBH guys. It is getting more difficult everytime. Be careful boys!(or older gentlemen, I should say)

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jun 14, 2007, 14:48:

It wasn't internet He was working at the construction of hydroelectrical plant in Colombia (remember the two Swedish engineers that were kidnapped from the same site and released later?) and decided to stay in Colombia and get himself a Colombian woman half his age. If he turns out dead she will inherit...I suppose; wasn't there some law about having lived together for two years making them a common-law couple?

Robert Jorge says on Jun 14, 2007, 17:43:

Seems pretty fishy to me. I would be inclined to agree with Scotty ... there must be some kind of tie to the Bush administration. Maybe Haliburton was a bidder on the dam project and lost to the Swedish company.

But seriously, I would totally believe it if they found the inlaws were the ones that did the kidnapping.

toneloc24 says on Jun 14, 2007, 18:30:

You know... ...I actually thought something was fishy when I first read the story, but just shook it off as a foolish thought. Esp. the whole brave wife thing.

Anyway, I do hope the old dude is found okay and promptly returns his ass to Sweden with the utmost quickness.

"Don't tase me, bro!!!!"

Robert Jorge says on Jun 14, 2007, 18:35:

I have heard of similar stories before - but they never made international news of course. My friend, a Colombiano but US permanent resident, was kidnapped years ago. He apparently wasn't held too long and paid what was to him a lot of money, some $20.000 USD. After being released and doing some digging, he found out it was a cousin or two of his and their friends who set it up. They knew exactly how much money he had in his bank account in the US, info like that.

kalder says on Jun 15, 2007, 00:48:

Perhaps this isn't pertinent to the tone of the thread, but if I'd been him I'd have married someone much older and considerably better looking.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jun 15, 2007, 01:28:

It was perhaps I myself who set the tone for this thread on a rather jaded level.

I hope that the old dude is ok and alive and will be returned soon to be able to travel back to Sweden and to his grown children and grandchildren soon.

Let's just say that I wouldn't be surprised at all either if the wife was behind it. He may have been on his way out of the relationship and she panicked when the goose with golden eggs was getting away. (Just my theory...)

About her looks; lots of guys past sixty are not that picky about looks any longer. It's enough for them that the woman is not much older than their grandchildren. I've seen old Swedish dudes that travel to Thailand and bring back skinny little Thai girls that look like they were 14...not a pretty sight.

Desi

kalder says on Jun 15, 2007, 02:12:

My wife often remarks on how old gringos frequently ignore beautiful older women and seek out (in her words)'ugly children'. I wonder if it's a biological drive, rather than purely psychological.

But yes, Godspeed to the guy's safe return. I can't imagine how awful his experience is.

cayita says on Jun 15, 2007, 04:42:

Desi "I hope that the old dude is ok and alive" Usually when this kind of thing happens it is very sad. If it is the family behind it then he will know them and that ends any possibility that he will ever be released in fact it is probably the case that he is already dead. Very sad.

scotty says on Jun 15, 2007, 05:24:

soooo the wifey just happens to escape huh? this doesnt look right at all?

I’m Colombian, and I’ve seen colombianas in action and let me tell you, they could con the hell outta anybody.
Maybe my experiences in life were a lot different than most, but the only women I truly turst, in general, are gringas and the richer the better.
Look at my sorry ass, I’m a fokin Guajiro! we are despise by Colombian society and mostly their white Colombian women, but now that I got a few dollars in my pocket I got colombianas that would not even give me the time of day before, are now supposedly interested in me. Why now? and not when I lived in Colombia? Explain that to me.

Its pretty amazing the wife managed to escape.Im sure she is devasted that her husband has,nt ....oh ya...and if you believe that one ive got some great bottom land for sale...bottom of a swamp that is.

If she escaped how was she rescued exactly? Yep sounds pretty fishy.

Elmo, the chicas are only interested in you now because your using the latest "Instant Rapper" Kit.



when I get time, and sit at home for a change, I'll make an "Instant Gringo" Kit, complete with fake american passport, and a wad of $100 bills, nice watch, and fake photos of the typical american materialistic possesions.

Lisa Zee says on Jun 15, 2007, 08:45:

That is funny Lockdhu But in my case it would`n work, I like younger man,(never have dated a man older than me, never will!) but with intellect, integrity, morals, scruples, intelligent, great physical shape, sense of humor and off course a nice ass!.

elmodefoque says on Jun 15, 2007, 08:53:

colombianas not chasing older guys with a few bucks are chasing guys like this.

NOP Not even close!, I don't think he is over six feet, with a great physic, blond or brown hear, blue eyes. I am trigena so I like the opposite, and money is NOT so important to ME!.
If I knew and had the time I will post photos. Not only you man like a younger mate and a good looking ones.
But sorry to get off topic, there is man in trouble and we are making fun of him.
