Kidnapped New York man found alive with eyes taped shut in Mexican jungle

A kidnapped New York man with a home in Mexico was found with his eyes taped shut and bound by his ankles and wrists in a remote Mexican jungle, officials said.

Joseph Constantine Buonincontri, 35, was located in a straw hut deep in the Limones wilderness, according to the Quintana Roo Attorney General’s Office.

He had been kidnapped three days earlier from his house in Limones, a remote town nearly 200 miles southwest of Cancún.

Buonincontri told authorities that he had been abducted “by unknown people,” Mexico News Daily reported , citing local outlets Reforma and Sipse.

He was found Tuesday after a search party of soldiers was alerted by locals to a taxi from Tulum filled with armed men driving through an “opening” in the jungle next to a highway.

The hut, with Buonincontri bound inside, was just 325 feet from where the taxi was seen, according to reports.
