Mexico suspends search for Hartley as intelligence analyst highlights possibility of more killings, beheadings (Full title)

ZAPATA — Mexico’s search for McAllen man David Michael Hartley was temporarily suspended Thursday with no definite word as to when it would resume.

Hartley, 30, is widely presumed dead after what his wife, Tiffany Young-Hartley, has described as an attack by cartel "pirates" Sept. 30 on the Mexican side of Falcon Reservoir, a sprawling waterway that spans the country’s border with the U.S.

Ah, yes, and Mrs. Hartley actually murdered her husband and is awaiting a massive, secret $10,000,000 insurance selttlement, the Mexican drug cartels being totally innocent in the entire matter. (sarc. off)

Apparently the problem is that all the remaining law enforcement personnel in Mexico involved in the search have become quite attached to their heads!

[Ancient Drive]

that whole country is being held hostage by the cartels.

[Pessimist]

I read on Malkin that she changed her story at least 3 times.

Apparently you’re willing to ignore that?

[Ancient Drive]

true!

[I cannot think of a name]

“Apparently you’re willing to ignore that?”

I'm not willing to ignore it. But I'm REALLY not willing to ignore that the person told to look for the guy ends up decapitated. I doubt very seriously she crossed the boarder and did that.

Isn’t this situation exactly why the USMC was developed? At this point, the question should be how many Marines would need to go into the rats’ nest and shut it down permanently.

[bcsco]

Law enforcement and officials in Texas have publicly stated they believe her. Her family and his family have publicly stated they believe her. Mexico made an attempt at an investigation based on her story and had the lead inspector decapitated. Now, this comes out, ostensibly from the cartel.

Apparently you’re willing to ignore that?

Why don’t you learn how to base your judgments on facts and evidence instead of innuendo?

[Texas resident]

It won’t take a lot of Marines, but it will take the will of the CIC to pull the trigger.
Maybe after 2012.
This POS and his party won’t lift a finger unless this violence personally affects them.

[sodpoodle]

We may never know the truth about this killing.

In the first few days, I suspected the wife was hiding something; perhaps an accomplice/lover and may have committed the perfect crime. Like many others, when her accounts kept changing, she appeared guilty of something (maybe only guilt for not being able to help her husband).

After learning that the husband worked in Mexico and the couple lived fairly close to the Lake - I rationalized they surely knew of the lawless, murderous drug cartels in the area and questioned their recklessness.

There have been reports that David Hartley was killed because of mistaken identity.

There’s always the possibility that the Hartleys were taking a risk they underestimated. That may explain the wife’s behavior. Guilt, remorse and fear that she knows too much.

that whole country is being held hostage by the cartels.””

Mexico is also trying to interfere into the lawsuit between NObama & Arizona SB 1070.

They cannot take care of their own country. Shame on them.

[MizSterious]

Looks like they’re hoping this will all just go away. Sadly, it just might.

[MizSterious]

People under stress often say different things. That would bother me, except that the eyewitness to the event did NOT change his story. Then there’s that little matter of the HEAD delivered to the police chief. Did this “murderous wife” somehow hire the cartels to remove the investigator’s head as part of her nefarious plot?

[bgill]

The suspension also coincided with Thursday’s comments by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the federal government was doing all it could to help find Hartley’s body

I don't know that Hussein has said one word on this situtation.

[Pessimist]

Investigators in Mexico are getting killed everyday by gangs.

Who knows if that was even related.

[Pessimist]

“Why don’t you learn how to base your judgments on facts and evidence instead of innuendo?”

So if people believe her, that proves it’s a fact?

I guess OJ really was innocent then.

[Pessimist]

Of course not.

But cops in Mexico are getting killed everyday by gangs.

[MizSterious]

You still haven’t explained the eyewitness. Your theory, as dear to you as it might be, just could be wrong.

[I cannot think of a name]

“But cops in Mexico are getting killed everyday by gangs.”

But as I understand it, they do so as “efficiently” as possible. Beheading, and then delivering the head, takes lots of extra effort and is always done as a “message.”

Having said that, whenever someone is missing, kidnapped, or molested, sadly, the family must be considered a suspect until proved otherwise. The statistics dictate such focus. And this woman and her story should be given the expected scrutiny. But the events in Mexico could/should not be ignored.
