No indication that he was targeted because of his nationality. Arguably, given his position, he's a fraudster who's been perpetrating his own crimes in Argentina.
I am not a Mormon and I don't believe in their religion but I have met quite a few Mormons around the world and had one convert in my family. I have always found them honest and kind people. Whatever you may think of their doctrines, they are self sufficient people who look after their neighbors. I think the fraudster comment is unfair.

What does his religion have to do with his kidnapping in this thread???
Do you think the embassy sends out the same letter to Peru, Uruguay, Spain, France, Chicago? :=)Just received from US embassy:
"The U.S. Embassy wishes to inform U.S. citizens living and traveling in Argentina that in recent months, U.S. citizens have reported a number of crimes to the embassy. Crimes reported include petty crime, taxi scams (especially at international airports), mugging, snatch-and-grab robbery involving motorcycles and bicycles, and occasionally more serious crimes such as express kidnapping, home invasion, carjacking, assault, and sexual assault using date rape drugs. We recommend that U.S. citizens traveling and living in Argentina always be aware of their surroundings, maintain a high level of vigilance, and take appropriate steps to enhance their personal security. Please consult reliable sources for information on transportation, lodging, and the general security of areas you are visiting".
Mormons are actually quite kind and generous...Oregon is full of 'em...
