Two Michigan grandparents detained in Mexico for over a month because of a timeshare dispute are finally heading home after their daughter pleaded for their release.

Christy Akeo, 60, and Paul Akeo, 58, who live in Spring Arbor, Michigan, were held in a Cereso, Cancun, prison for 32 days since they traveled there for vacation earlier this month and were arrested by Mexican authorities, as their daughter and attorney previously told Fox News Digital.

“The Akeo family wishes to thank President Donald J. Trump, his Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler and Congressman Tom Barrett [R-Minn.] for working tirelessly for the release of Paul and Christy Akeo,” their daughter and son-in-law, Lindsey Lemke Hull and Michael Lemke, said in a Thursday evening statement. “We also want to express our deepest gratitude to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Mark Coolidge Johnson, Charge d ’Affaires, U.S. Embassy Mission Mexico and his dedicated team.”

They added that after “four straight weeks of uncertainty,” Rep. Barrett’s commitment to helping the Akeos return home safely gave them “hope and reassurance.”

The Akeos’ attorney, responding to the Palace’s statement, said Christy wrote to a Palace representative on April 8, 2022, saying she and Paul “do still believe we have done nothing wrong to breach our contract but feel Palace has given us no other option but to sign the documents, even though this is against our better judgment.”

“We love Palace Resorts and would miss it if we could not go,” she wrote at the time.

Her attorney said there is dispute over whether the Akeos had the right to market and sell their timeshare “weeks” at the resort to third parties, but they believe the matter should be resolved in a civil suit and should not have resulted in the Akeos being sent to prison.
