Zapata says that those comments were part of the peculiar way in which she related to her captors, whom she always confronted.
“I confronted them. In the second place where they had us, there were some little birds and then I asked one of them ‘whose are those little birds, are they yours right?’ And he told me yes. And then he would ask her ‘if you were an animal, what animal would you be?’ And I told him myself: ‘surely you would be a bird because you would like to be free but you are not free because you dedicate yourself to this’.
What the kidnappers made clear to Laura Zapata from the first moment was that the kidnapping had a purpose. “They told me ‘this is nothing personal, we want the money from Tommy Mottola and we need the phone Thalia”.
Zapatra explains that the kidnappers did talk to his sister Thalía, who at first thought it was a joke but as soon as she found out it was real, she was willing to help.
