MEXICO CITY — A missionary couple from Texas were slain in an apparent robbery at their home outside the violence-plagued northern industrial city of Monterrey, the U.S. Embassy and their family said Wednesday. The embassy identified the couple as John and Wanda Casias.
Valerie Alirez, the eldest child of John Casias, said from her home in Greeley that one of her brothers found her father and stepmother Tuesday dead in their home in Santiago, Nuevo Leon.
The family was 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. John Casias was a Baptist preacher and ran a church in Santiago, Alirez said. He was 76. Wanda Casias was 67.
