Tiffany Hartley, the wife of the American believed to have died in a hail of bullets while jet-skiing on the border of Texas and Mexico, marked sixth months since the incident by calling on the U.S. government do more to find and bring home his body.
Investigators say that David Hartley was killed by Mexican gang members. His body presumably still lies at the bottom of the border lake.
The border runs through the middle of the Falcon Reservoir, a popular recreation area. Tiffany Hartley told investigators she and her husband were riding Wave Runners on Sept. 30 when they were approached by men in three boats who opened fire. Hartley said her husband was shot in the head and went under while she escaped under fire.
There have been several similar attacks on the lake and many in the area believe the men in the boats are members of a Mexican drug cartel, investigators say.
Hartley and about 30 supporters held a rally on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver on Wednesday. They issued a call on the U.S. and Mexican governments to solve the crime and find David's body.

Homeland Secuirty would have moved heaven and earth if he were.
Hasn’t she heard? Everything’s fine at the border. /sarc
Yep, our government has dropped this like a hot rock while Nappy says the border has never been safer.
Brackets first.
I really do feel for her. But: President Obama? Did she really expect he or his Administration would do anything more than lip service?
He was not black, why would they?
Correct...Obama and his thugs just want this to go away. I know what she’s going through from a personal experience some years back and my heart goes out to her but she’d better get over this as soon as she can and get on with her life.
Does not surprise me that the US govt is not helping Mrs hartley in finding her husband
Heck...look at all the Free Trade Communist Open Borders Globalists who were coming out and claiming that Mrs Hartley was lying....and claimed she killed her husband!
Too many are pandering to the Mexican Drug Cartels and the Mexican/Hispanic Ku Klux Klan groups. They will rather let a widow suffer than upset their America-Hating Globalist agenda of appeasing Drug Cartels and Hispanic Ku Klux Klan groups
I really think it’s not a racial thing. I think it’s a “I don’t want to irritate our neighbors to the south” thing.
She is a sharp lady. In Texas many of us have been keeping up with this case and are as frustrated (well, no one really could be AS frustrated) as her.
I’ve fished Falcon Lake numerous times. When the water is low, the inundated village of Old Guerrero is exposed enough to provide some fascinating snooping and fishing by boat.
They weren’t doing anything that thousands haven’t been doing for years since the lake was built in the 50s. Narco terrorists are the murderers and who knows who else is covering for them what with the convoluted war in Mexico and our WEAK administration here.
Thanks for relating your first hand knowledge of the area, I agree completely. These type incidents work directly against Obama and thugs wish for an open border.
This lady probably knows where his body is better than anyone. Good excuse to cover up a murder though.
