An eyewitness has come forward in the case of the American who was allegedly attacked by Mexican pirates to claim he saw the man's panicked wife as she fled to the American side of the lake.
As a safety precaution, the witness spoke in shadow and with voice alteration to avoid identification because he said he feared for his life.
"It was hard, just remembering everything about us going in to go take pictures and enjoying the sunny day and enjoying the nice weather," Tiffany Hartley, wife of missing David Hartley, told "Good Morning America" today, just hours after returning from the emotional trip.
Surrounded by a flotilla of police and politicians, Tiffany Hartley looked somber as she gazed at the water -- the last place she saw her husband alive. The search was halted, reportedly after threats from Mexican drug cartels, but will resume today, Hartley said.
For Hartley, though, it's not enough. She called on senior U.S. officials, including President Obama, to work more closely with Mexican authorities to recover her husband's body.
"I think we need to make that up the ladder a bit, even all the way up to Obama," she said. "We really need to get U.S. and Mexico working together."
"It's hard to believe that they don't believe me, but it is a story that most people don't understand that pirates would be on a lake, that the cartel[s] are taking over Mexico. It's a story that people don't understand unless they're on that border."
U.S. officials said they're prohibited from entering Mexican waters to search for his body. In addition to President Obama, David Hartley's mother, Pam Hartley, has issued a public plea to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking for aid in bringing her son's body home.

Sheriff: Evidence supports wife’s account in pirate attack
By Kevin Vaughan
The Denver Post
[snip]ZAPATA, TEXAS — Blood, witness accounts and other unspecified evidence all corroborate the version of events laid out by a Colorado woman whose husband is missing and presumed dead after an attack on a lake straddling the Mexican border, the sheriff leading the investigation said this afternoon.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. detailed some of the reasons he does not doubt that David Hartley, a 30-year-old Loveland native, was murdered a week ago by a drug gang on Falcon Lake, a 44-mile long waterway bisected by the U.S.-Mexico border.

You’re several days late with your prediction...
It’s about time to nuke Mexico City!
Be Ever Vigilant!
What is STUNNING is the number of freepers who want to give Mexico a pass and blame the American! Jerimiah Wright would be proud.
Once again....We're surrounded by traitors, back stabbers and frauds in the U.S...
It's what happens when the U.S. Gov intentionally flooded our country with tens of millions of illegal aliens...Then thrown in the traitors that reap the profits from the endless flood of low wage illegal labor...
Profits regardless of consequences, will eventually leave America dead on the floor.
Take notes?... Are you joking?
Parkland Hospital in Dallas is delivering almost 1000 babies per month, every month, from illegal aliens....At just one hospital.
Our towns and cities jammed with tens of millions of illegals from Mexico, while your government forces you to pay for it. If that isn't enough, your government is turning the U.S. into a flophouse for foreigners with their endless chain immigration.
Take notes?
We've been had.

They are generally of the same ilk who find no fault with McCain.

0bama’s zombies live to blame America for everything...I have no time for those brain dead haters, the first one who confronts me will get a bullet between the eyes!

Um, surrender?
Perry's been licking Mexican boots since day one. You live in one of the few states that discriminates against other American citizens in college tuition by giving in-state tuition to illegal aliens. Signed by Rick "helmet head" Perry.
And you think the guy is some sort of tuff guy planning to rough up Felipe Calderon?
Other way round, sistah.
BUMP!
Mexico blocks US from search” - that speaks loud and clear.
