EAGLE PASS WOMAN SENTENCED TO FEDERAL PRISON FOR FAKING HER OWN
KIDNAPPING FOR RANSOM MONEY
In Del Rio this afternoon, 25-year-old Julia Esmeralda Garza of Eagle Pass, TX, was sentenced to 11 months in
federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for her role in a fraudulent kidnapping scheme
announced United States Attorney Robert Pitman and Federal Bureau of Investigation Acting Special Agent in
Charge Aaron C. Rouse, San Antonio Division.
According to court records, on May 8, 2013, Garza used her cellphone to make phone calls and send text
messages to a friend in attempt to obtain approximately $700 in ransom money. During the scheme, Garza
fraudulently claimed that she had been kidnapped, threatened and was being held against her will in Mexico.
The friend notified local police of the potential kidnapping. On November 20, 2013, Garza pleaded guilty to one
count of wire fraud.
“This case demonstrates the FBI’s commitment to investigate and seek prosecution of individuals, who
participate in fraudulent schemes, which compromise public safety by diverting valuable law enforcement
resources away from true victims,” stated FBI ASAC Rouse.
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation together with Eagle Pass Police
Department. Assistant United States Attorney Lewis Thomas prosecuted this case on behalf of the
Government.
