(CNN) -- Two additional suspects have surfaced in the fatal shooting of an American man on a lake that straddles the United States and Mexico last September, Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez told CNN.

David Hartley was allegedly shot on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake. He and his wife, Tiffany, were on personal watercraft on the lake when gunmen opened fire on them, authorities say. The killing remains unsolved.

Gonzalez said officials would not release the new suspects' names.

I'm sure all the FReepers who were lining up to trash the wife will be here to apologize any moment now.

Yep, you beat me to it.

You know it.

I was wondering about this the other day. It just dropped out of the news. Thanks for posting.

The mutul aid between Mexican authorities and ours is a precious thing isn’t it?

Mexican authorities are not about to lock up these killers because they fear being killed themselves , Obama is trying his best to make our own law enforcement just as good as theirs, /s/

I am sure you are right! Those are the folks who have the awesome sense of smell. They are the ones who always declare that “something doesn’t smell right”.

Do not hold your breath! Those that claimed she was responsible only crawl out from under their rocks when it’s dark! Slime they are.
Thanks, for bringing it up!

I did not know they had id’d any suspects until now.
Have any of the suspects been detained?
The article says they know who these additional two are, but not WHERE they are...

The wife was interviewed on a local radio station and sounded like a nice quick witted woman.

The suspects are known Mexican drug traffickers and "do come over to Zapata County (Texas) every once in awhile. We're waiting to try and grab them when they're here," he said.

Border, what border? They don't need no stinkin' border! Ok, so grab them and then close down the border once and for all.

I can’t believe anyone actually thought she had anything to do with it. I mean-look at all the stories about border violence.

But I wouldn’t put it past certain corrupted “authorities” to push that story in order to let things continue as they are.

Tiffany and David Hartley were riding personal watercraft on Falcon Lake when David was killed,

"I can’t believe anyone actually thought she had anything to do with it.

LOL...go back and look at some of the threads from last fall when this happened. Some folks here had her tried and convicted quicker than you can say Aztlán.

Harassing Federally protected species?

A factor hindering the investigation is that the shooting took place in Mexico. Mexican authorities have not publicly provided any new leads since the investigator on the case was found dead. The new revelations bring the total number of suspects in the case to four, Gonzalez said.

You guys remember this case, right?

It’s the one where the police originally blamed the wife for her husbands murder while she pleaded with them to get her husbands body and killers.

The U.S. is getting played... again.

And again, and again, and again.....
