The kidnapping took place in June 2004 when Laura Juliana Hernández, Rodolfo’s daughter, was 23 years old, according to what Mauricio Hernández, eldest son of the candidate, told EL TIEMPO.
The young woman was studying Law at the Santo Tomás de Bucaramanga University and was about to graduate.
“I don’t remember exactly where I was going but it was like June 4, 2004 and she she went for a walk with a friend, I think for Ocaña (Norte de Santander), when the next day they called us and told us that she had been kidnapped”, says Mauricio Hernández.
Mauricio relates that his sister was a year older than him and lived with him, “we were very close, my father made all the effort, my family, all we did our best to achieve a release but it was very difficult that the National Government help us and unfortunately the things for the negotiation were not given and we lost my sister”.

Rodolfo’s son reported that the now presidential candidate refused to pay Laura’s ransom money.
“My father with his way of being, that we applaud him because otherwise it would have been something different and surely if they kidnapped one then they kidnapped 10 of the same family, and well, logically the best he could say was that no, he was not going to To pimp to have one son kidnapped and then the other kidnapped, everything possible was done but it was not possible”, says Mauricio Hernández.
To date they have never received the young woman’s body.
