That Jrandomfreeper fellow says we have no right to speculate.
Except damn, I thought this was America, Freespeech and all. It’s not like I’m an investigator or on the jury or anything. The last place you’d think someone would be condemning free speech would be on FreeRepublic.
And calling you names!
But I’ll respond to you only because you seem to think like I am.
My ouija board’s been wrong before, more than I like to admit.
But I’ll join you on the insurance fraud thing. I think her husband is still alive, I think their plan is to try and collect insurance money, I think they plan on hiding in Mexico.
I don’t think for a minute it will work but there does seem to be some form to the actions. They have this couple on video BEFORE they even entered the water. This proves they were together. I don’t know the circumstances of why they were stopped. Do you?
This alleged witness....strange. I wondered why this guy was not all showing up on the View, claiming his or her fifteen minutes. The obsessed ones say it’s because the witness is afraid that the Mexican drug Lords will kill him if his identity is known.
I guess that’s possible but.....strange is all I can say.
They don’t sound like any great Einsteins, those two. For now I’m thinking they thought they could pull some kind of scam, collect insurance, although they obviously didn’t know much about it. Insurance companies don’t just fork up big buck payoffs without a body...takes many years.
I also heard there was blood on her life vest....her husband’s blood. If so, well THAT’s an interesting development.
I’d also like to know what kind of life insurance that guy might have had on his life. I’m thinking someone somewhere has researched that factoid.
No doubt the Mexican narcotrafficantes are as bad.
Any witnesses would be well advised to keep their identities secret in this case.
What is interesting about that? If you tried to pull a wounded person out of the water onto a jetski wouldn't it be a pretty mundane occurrence to get some blood on yourself?
I get to stand up and say that you needlessly hurt people when you screw it up.
The family will run across this thread, someday. After the facts are out.
You are welcome to come play in the woods down here. Where life is feral, and you have to worry about Mexican nationals taking your life. Bring your own protection. I'm not wasting my ammo on a speculator.

That would include putting their name in the To: box.

Yep, I’ve been severely chastised on other boards for having the temerity to question the grieving widow’s account. Nonetheless, it’s a real life mystery and I can’t resist the challenge to try to figure it out. The drug angle certainly has merit, but this couple seems a bit too whitebread to get mixed up in something like that. They had to know about the murders and be headings associated with the drug cartels, so they would have had to be totally desperate to try something like that. Of course, they did move back to the States, so maybe they thought it was safe to do on this side of the border. And the Mexican investigator getting decapitated certainly seems a bit of a coincidence. Still, I like the insurance scam angle.I believe they were stopped by the cops for not having the proper license tags on their vehicle- or something like that. I’m not sure either. I’d bet dollars to donuts the couple were weaned on TV. The woman’s account her husband went flying after being shot, smacks of a lifetime exposed to violent movies. I mean, when you’re shot you drop. Did you know you can’t even shoot a guy’s hat off his head (Mythbusters)? And you’re right, she doesn’t seem too bright. She probably thought a good story featuring murderous pirates (along with her husband’s blood on her life vest) would be more than sufficient for a big insurance payout. Oddly enough, in most cases like this, the cops are fairly tight lipped and say stuff like, “the woman is not a suspect blah blah blah”. Yet the local sheriff, along with some big time politicians and news organizations seem to be actively supporting and promoting her story.
