However, Jayne’s gut feeling about the illness’ return towards the end of her spouse’s captivity turned right. And just two weeks after Eduardo’s release, she faced the devastating news.
For six weeks after the prognosis of the terminal disease, she wanted to give up, losing her will to fight. However, the support from her family kept her going for four years.

Jayne Valseca Kidnapped Husband Eduardo Came Back Safe, But Lost Her Life To Illness
Though Jayne Valseca’s kidnapped husband, Eduardo, made it alive, she became the one who faced the sad fate, as she succumbed to the illness.
The Valescas lived on a ranch in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico when the incident occurred. On 13 June 2007, the couple set out to drop their three kids off at the Waldorf School.
And while on the way home, armed kidnappers forcefully opened the couple’s car. They then blindfolded the two and transferred them into a new vehicle.
Despite being in serious trouble, Jayne remained calm as she tried to take notes of where the car turned and the duration of their travel. The vehicle stopped after some time, and the abductors moved Eduardo to another automobile. They left her stranded near a highway.
Nonetheless, she was able to memorize the license plate. Soon after returning home, she went to the police. The kidnappers originally asked for ransoms worth $8 million, and with no such amount on hand, the negotiations went for over six months.
Eventually, Jayne asked two men to drop an undisclosed amount of cash at a location. Then, Eduardo returned home safely the next day.
After the incident, the family moved to her hometown in Mayland.
As for the perpetrators, authorities arrested two Chilean ex-revolutionaries, Raul Julio Escobar Poblete (in May 2017) and Ricardo Palma Salamanca (in February 2018).
Poblete is imprisoned in Guanajuato, while the other seems to be in France. Reportedly, the French government denied extraditing him to Chile.
