Yes, this is a real story:
Latavia "Tay" McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams — who remain missing — had traveled to Mexico for a cosmetic medical procedure when they were abducted on Friday, according to relatives who spoke to ABC News and the Associated Press.
"This is like a bad dream you wish you could wake up from," said Brown's sister Zalandria Brown. "To see a member of your family thrown in the back of a truck and dragged, it is just unbelievable."
She said her brother had two friends who had accompanied a third pal to get tummy tuck surgery.
McGee's mother, Barbara Burgess, 54, told ABC News she was concerned about her daughter's trip to get cosmetic work done and warned her not to go.
They had crossed over from Texas into the super dangerous city of Matamoros when gunmen shot at their minivan and took them hostage.

Two of the friends – both men, although we don't know who yet – were found dead.
A Mexican official told Reuters on Tuesday that two of the men were found dead, while a woman and the third male friend are alive.
Mexican authorities say one person has been arrested, for whatever in the heck that's worth.
Here's what the White House had to say:
Crazy stuff.
