Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker said Tuesday that the couple from Pico Rivera was kidnapped May 13.
Parker says the man was held for five days in a garage while the woman was released with orders to bring back $6,000 to free him. He says the man was subjected to constant death threats, had his fingers smashed with a handgun, his ear cut and an obscene word burned into his stomach with a knife.
The man escaped when he was taken out of the garage and his kidnappers tried to put him into a vehicle.
Authorities subsequently arrested three reputed members of the “Rivera 13” gang.
