🚨URGENT: PAUL AND CHRISTY AKEO BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN MEXICO🚨
STATEMENT from their daughter:
On March 4th, 2025, my stepdad and mom, Paul and Christy Akeo were imprisoned in Cancun, Mexico and are now being held without bail in a maximum-security Mexican prison. The last 21 days of being held captive is a direct result of my parents simply challenging wrongful credit card charges made by The Palace Company, aka Palace Resorts with American Express. American Express sided with my mom and Paul as a response to these wrongful charges. The last 21 days of torture my parents have been through is a direct response of The Palace Company’s corruption, extortion, retaliation and blackmail against our parents.
The Palace Company is demanding $250,000, the signing of an NDA that does not even guarantee their release, as well as a Facebook post made by our parents to be left up for 1 week claiming all responsibility and fault for the torture they have endured throughout the last 3 weeks. If that’s not enough, they also demanded a public apology from my mom and Paul to be made to The Palace Company. Absolutely sickening.
Despite what the completely false news articles posted in Mexico say, aiming to defame and slander our parents, we have all proof necessary to show these articles are written off of lies. With no mention of Palace Resorts at all in any article.
My mom and Paul are being denied medical attention, denied proper communication and publicly defamed. They have been held captive in prison for 21 days and despite asking numerous times to speak to Paul, we have yet to have ANY communication with him. My mom has lost 25 lbs. in 20 days due to inability to eat as the prison is serving her food they are aware she is allergic to. She also has a severe rash all over her body they refuse to treat. These are all concerns that have been brought up numerous times to the US Consulate over the last 3 weeks, yet they failed to have any sort of visit with my parents until 17 DAYS into their imprisonment. In other words, the US Consulate and the US Embassy have been nothing short of useless.
We have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars towards Mexican legal representation, but unfortunately that only goes so far when dealing with this level of corruption and extortion. We have also met prior demands given to us by The Palace Company and yet they have had no serious response to letting our parents free.
This includes forcing my brother and I to remove a private Facebook Group of 8,000 members who came together as a community to share grievances and receive advice on how to deal with the strong hold tactics and manipulation that Palace Resorts enforces. By forcing us to remove this group, which we did not own or create, they silenced thousands of Palace Resorts members who were simply sharing their truth of how awful and actually harmful it is to be a Palace Resort Member.
We have contacted numerous local and national government representation including but not limited to:
· US Embassy & US Consulate
· FBI, US Department of State & US Senate
· Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Office
· US Senator Gary Peters & Senator Elissa Slotkin
· Michigan State Police
· NBC News & FOX News
��️Please let it be known - Paul is a US Navy Chief Petty Officer and served our country for 21 years. The lack of action from our own government officials to help an innocent veteran who proudly served our country is UNACCEPTABLE‼️
PLEASE help us SPREAD THE WORD—SHARE THIS POST, TAG MEDIA OUTLETS AND TAG OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND REPRESENTATIVES!
If you know our parents at all, you know they are undeserving of this. My family is asking for EVERYONE to step in and PLEASE….HELP US GET THEM HOME.
After breaking into several vehicles in the area of NW 16th/Council, this person pulled out a gun, threatened to kill victims who caught him in the act, and shot at them. Crime Stoppers with info 405.235.7300 / https://t.co/YVxGWebSAS Cash reward possible!
Case # 24-94257
Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.
🔥🚨BREAKING: The suspected drunk driver in the horrific NYC crash that left 3 dead is Daniel Hyden, a substance-abuse counselor who wrote the book ‘The Sober Addict’ and career was helping addicts.

NEW: American Airlines flight attendant Estes Carter Thompson III indicted for secretly filming a 14-year-old girl going to the bathroom on the plane.
Police say Thompson had recordings of four other girls, 7, 9, 11 & 14, on his phone.
The incident happened when Thompson noticed the girl was waiting for the lavatory. He mentioned that the first-class lavatory was open and escorted her to the front.
Before entering, Thompson said he needed to wash his hands. He taped his phone to the seat.
The girl didn't noticed the phone until she got up. She took a picture to show her mother.
The mother then told her father who confronted Thompson in the back of the plane where a "kerfuffle" went down according to the family's lawyer.
Thompson is facing 15-30 years in prison for attempted exploitation of children and 20 years for having images of a prepubescent minor.
NEW: 62-year-old Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in his truck after he didn't show up for a legal interview linked to a case against Boeing.
Barnett worked for Boeing for 32 years and retired in 2017. After retiring, Barnett spoke out about how Boeing was cutting corners on their airplanes.
Just days before his death, Barnett gave evidence in a lawsuit against Boeing.
Barnett accused Boeing of "deliberately fitting sub-standard parts" on their aircraft.
He also accused Boeing of having faulty oxygen systems, saying one in four breathing masks would *not* work in an emergency situation.
Barnett said new plane builds were rushed. When he brought his concerns forward, they were allegedly ignored by the company.
When he died, Barnett was in Charleston for interviews linked to a case against Boeing.
He was supposed to come back for more questioning on Saturday but did not show up. Inquiries were made to his hotel where Barnett was found dead in his car in the parking lot.
Police are investigating Barnett's death but say he died from a "self-inflicted" wound.
The video below was a recent interview Barnett had with TMZ.
Totally normal.
