(CNN) -- The lead Mexican investigator in the Falcon Lake case, Rolando Armando Flores Villegas, has been killed, his severed head delivered Tuesday in a suitcase to the Mexican military, officials told CNN.

"His head was delivered to the army garrison this morning in a suitcase after he failed to report back home last night," Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. said.

A spokesman for the attorney general of Tamaulipas state in Mexico, Ruben Dario-Rios, confirmed the killing Tuesday afternoon in a telephone interview.

This case is becoming more bizarre each day.

Well I guess that confirms that the victim's wife made the whole story up... (sarc)

[BenLurkin]

Sounds like they’re closing in on the perpetrators.

are beheadings common in mexico/ i thought that they were more common in a certain moderate religion/

I don’t see any way to get to these Mexican cartels other than going quite medieval on them.

[McLynnan]

When are we and the Mexicans going to grow a pair and remove this scourge from the earth? They operate with impunity because they know nobody is going to stop them.

[pissant]

another day in paradise.

Don’t say hinky. LOL!

Yes it is becoming weirder everyday. Hopefully they find whomever did this. I really want the killer or killers brought to justice. I like that area and hate to see it get bad rep from folks on either side of the border.

Sounds like time to move the military into place and do a sweep on the Mexican side. Volunteers just out practicing hunting Texas mule deer could be on the US side making sure none of the perps leave the shoreline.

Make the Rio run red.

We need Black Jack Pershing, for both the Cartels and the Islamists. He knew how to get things done.

Los Zetas need to be upgraded to Al-Qaeda status and there need to be incursions.

Well if wasteoids would quit using their products they’d be outta business.

Support murder - get high.

Mexico, Chandler, AZ, take your pick...

[McLynnan]

There will always be “wasteoids” and there is no shortage of home grown products for them. Personally I’m in favor of the go nuclear option to keep this trash on the other side of the Rio Grande.

There may come a time when following prescribed laws simply do not work. When the gangsters simply take their chances and scoff at the niceties of civilized societies, and honest men and women tremble.

A decision will have to be made- or else retreat into a rotten corrupt society. That decision will be to declare a state of emergency.

Unleash the dogs of war.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

We need Black Jack Pershing; with A-10 close air support and troops with mini-guns.

“Beyond your expectations.”

[TexasFreeper2009]

I agree this is going to force us to deal with these gangs the same way we will be forced to deal with the rag head pedophile worshipers eventually.... with extreme prejudice.

Actually, this may be good practice for fighting wars properly again.

[TexasFreeper2009]

then when the war is over... the liberals will start prosecuting the cops like they did after Katrina.

Liberals have created a world doomed to failure on many different levels.

How about if our government let adults decide if they want to use marijuana instead of making criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens? The war on drugs is a colossal failure in the U.S. as well as Mexico. Legalize pot and 80% of the problems go away. Marijuana is a major cash crop in California and other areas. Tax it, sell it to adults and leave people alone.
