DALLAS (AP) — A U.S. official with knowledge of the investigation into the death of a border patrol agent said Monday that the surviving agent who radioed in for help doesn’t remember what happened.

The official, who was briefed on the investigation but is not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Rogelio Martinez was found at the bottom of a 14-foot culvert and that investigators believe he may have fallen. The official said the incident happened after dark in an area is known for drug activity and where agents often look for drugs in culverts.

A spokeswoman for the FBI, which is leading the investigation, said Monday in a statement that both agents were found late Saturday night in a culvert near Van Horn, Texas, and that both had traumatic head injuries.

Somebody is trying to cover something up, IMHO.

Yeah that is what happened, he fell and when he fell he kept on hitting his head on a rock in a sandy culvert. Then his partner came down to help him and also fell on rocks.

WHAT A BUNCH OF BS AP. HE FELL IS WAY BETTER THAN THE TRUTH BECAUSE YOU ALL DO NOT WANT THAT WALL.

Laura Ingrahm had a photo of the culvert where this happened last night. Sand in culvert.

We can’t have people accusing nameless illegals.

I wonder if this guy did it, however.

Ok, cool.

I suspect they’re trying to cover up involvement of Mexican army regulars to avoid an international incident that might be construed as an act of war.

As soon as the FBI gets involved...the truth is BURIED. Just like Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino and Vegas. They are evil to the core.

“agent may have fallen”

He may have mugged himself. He may have been a flat earther. He may have had soup for lunch when he was a kid. He may have.....

The agent who died was having an affair with the agent’s wife who survived. How’s that for a conspiracy?

A few years ago, the Mexican army was caught on this side of the border. Claimed they didn’t know they were on the wrong side and didn’t realize the big bridge crossing the river was the border.
