why the hell doesn't she STFU and stay off TV??
she has no description, why would she even interject herself into that?
The wife of an American man allegedly gunned down by Mexican pirates said she's unsure that the two suspects named by Mexican authorities are the men responsible for her husband's murder.
Tiffany Hartley, whose husband, David, was shot and killed on a U.S.-Mexico border lake, said she hopes that the two drug cartel suspects reportedly named by Mexican officials are behind the attack.
"It's definitely frustrating because we don't really know if these two people were actually involved in the shooting," Hartley said in an interview Monday with Fox News. "Are they (Mexican authorities) just using two names that they've known that have been part of the other attacks?
"Hopefully these two guys are the ones that are responsible," she said. "It's frustrating because you don't know what to believe."
this is an unconfirmed report just breaking...the severed head of lead investigator of Falcon Lake shooting has been delivered to mexican military in a suitcase.
edit to add: The severed head of the lead Mexican investigator in the Falcon Lake
case was delivered Tuesday in a suitcase to the Mexican military, Texas Rep. Aaron Pena told CNN.
However, a spokesman for the attorney general of Tamaulipas state in Mexico said he had not heard the report.
Peña reported via Twitter that he had confirmed the information with Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez, whose office is heading the U.S. investigation into the Sept. 30 disappearance of David Michael Hartley.
Do they do that because it's so shocking? Jesus. Just put bullets in people like other heathens do for christssake. Crazy bastards. No wonder people try to escape that hellhole.
here she is STILL making the TV rounds. she is getting on my last nerve. blah blah blah de blah
edit to add: she really needs to put a sock in it. she was on JVM wed. night too. STFU girl!
anyway, what is interesting is the American sheriff does NOT believe Flores' murder is related to Hartley case. MANY LEOs have been murdered in mexico.
AUSTIN, Texas — The wife of an American man missing after a reported shooting on a border lake said Wednesday she will not go to Mexico to meet with authorities because she is afraid of the dangers she might face there.
"We're all under agreement that that is not a wise decision," Tiffany Hartley said on NBC's TODAY show. "Who knows what would happen if I do go over there?"
Hartley appeared on TODAY one day after a Texas sheriff told NBC News that the severed head of a Mexican investigator looking into the disappearance of her husband, David Hartley, had been delivered to authorities in Mexico.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez is spearheading the investigation on the U.S. side.
David Hartley vanished on Sept. 30 while on Jet Skis with his wife on Falcon Lake, which stretches into Mexico.
Rolando Flores, commander of state investigators in Ciudad Miguel Aleman, was part of a group investigating the reported shooting. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the Tamaulipas state confirmed that Flores had been killed, but said the death was unrelated to the Hartley investigation.
Tiffany Hartley described Flores as a "very sincere, very compassionate" person who "seemed like he really wanted to help" despite the challenges he faced because of the violence in Mexico.
"My heart broke," Harley said of learning of the investigator's death.
"I just grieve for his family and my heart just aches for his family because they're now having to go through what we're going through," she said during the TODAY interview. "And just like everybody says to me, there just aren't any words to explain how sorry I am and how much I hurt for his family."
Attempt at intimidation
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the death of the investigator was a message from gangsters for investigators to "stay out of their territory."
"I think their attempt is to intimidate law enforcement, no matter who they are or where they are," Perry told The Associated Press.
The beheading "is taking a page out of al-Qaida's playbook that these drug cartels have been doing for about the last three or four years now, trying to come up with the most grotesque form of murder they can to intimidate authorities and to intimidate the citizens of Mexico," former FBI profiler and NBC News analyst Clint Van Zandt said on TODAY.
U.S. officials have said threats from drug gangs who control the area around Falcon Lake have hampered the search for Hartley, though divers have been in the lake searching this week. The search for Hartley's body is expected to continue, although Gonzalez said it's becoming increasingly unlikely the body will be found.
The part of Tamaulipas state where the lake sits is overrun by violence from a turf battle between the Gulf Cartel and the Zeta drug gang, made up of former Mexican special forces soldiers, and both are battling the Mexican military.
One of these days someone will be killed and it will be the wrong person, then there will be a Rambo running around getting a bit of real justice done.
Christ! she's everywhere! why the hell doesn't she stay off the TV? what's next, taco bell adverts?
(CNN) -- The wife of an American reportedly shot dead by gunmen in Mexico pleaded for help in finding her husband and said she hoped a search would resume Tuesday.
"I plea to the people who did this. To anybody who knows who did this," Tiffany Hartley said on CNN's "AC 360" Monday night. "Just give me my husband back. I want to take him home and honor him. And I am sure somebody out there knows. Just help me bring my husband home."
the wife of David Hartley has left Texas and returned to CO.
i hope to hell this young woman isn't found beheaded! her dept. is mostly women and unarmed. i wish her all the luck she is going to need. maybe that macho culture will help her to stay safe. but i doubt it.
(CNN) -- Some headlines are hailing her as the bravest woman in Mexico. Marisol Valles Garcia, all of 20 years old, says she's just tired of everyone being afraid.
Valles Garcia, a criminology student, became the police chief this week of Praxedis G. Guerrero, one of the most violent municipalities in the border state of Chihuahua. She was the only person who accepted the top job in a police force whose officers have been abducted and even killed.
"Yes, there is fear," Valles Garcia said Wednesday in an interview with CNN en Español. "It's like all human beings. There will always be fear, but what we want to achieve in our municipality is tranquility and security."
There's good reason for the fear. Just this past weekend, a 59-year-old local mayor, Rito Grado Serrano, and his 37-year-old son, Rogoberto Grado Villa, were killed in a house in which they they were hiding in nearby Ciudad Juarez. Another area mayor was killed in June.
Juarez is the bloodiest city in Mexico, with a reported 2,500 people killed in drug violence this year. Praxedis G. Guerrero is located about 35 miles southeast of Ciudad Juarez. Both are in the state of Chihuahua, which borders Texas.
Nationwide, the federal government says, more than 28,000 people have lost their lives since Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the drug cartels after taking office in December 2006.
Valles Garcia sees a non-violent role for her 13-member force, which will be mostly female and unarmed.
"The weapons we have are principles and values, which are the best weapons for prevention," she told CNN en Español. "Our work will be pure prevention. We are not going to be doing anything else other than prevention."
Valles Garcia said she aims to establish programs in neighborhoods and schools, to win back security in public spaces and to foster greater cooperation among neighbors so they can form watch committees.
She has recruited three other women to join the force in the small municipality of 8,500 people, the government-run Notimex news agency said this week.
Valles Garcia said Wednesday she gladly accepted when Mayor Jose Luis Guerrero offered her the job. The first couple of days have gone smoothly, she said.
Yes, there is fear. It's like all human beings. There will always be fear, but what we want to achieve in our municipality is tranquility and security.
--Marisol Valles Garcia
"Truthfully, we have been very tranquil," she said. "The people have received us very well. They have even supported us. They say it's a great project and they will be with us 100 percent."
Still, the notion of a largely female police force being helmed by a woman -- and a young one at that -- does not seem to sit well with some people in a country that still retains vestiges of machismo.
"Are there no men in Chihuahua?" read a headline on a blog on the Periodista Digital website.
But Valles Garcia believes what the job may need is a woman's touch.
"We are simply going to talk with them, with the people, with the families, giving them confidence so they will quit being afraid, so they can leave their houses," she told CNN en Español.
"We have hope that we are going to exchange fear for tranquility and security."
I saw her interviewed this morning. She claims she's not going to interfere with the drug element in that little town, that it's not the role she wants to play. How does one police a drug haven with a force that consists of females who don't carry arms? Shit.
I'd love to take her seriously & give her kudos but, let's be real.
Well that very brave (and seemingly naive) Valles Garcia & her "unarmed" force will undoubtly just have to look very sternly at those drug thugs to keep them in line!!! It's very likely that the 20 year old will not see her 21st BD!!! "Unarmed", what the hell are they fuckin thinkin?!!
( It was said she is a student, well she is going to learn the hard way that book learnin is totally different from RL shit!)
Carsman: Loves Living Large Home is where you're treated the best, but complain the most! Life is short, make the most of it, get outta here!
I think it's wonderful that she has the kind of heart that wants a better community for the townspeople but, this is so unrealistic of her. Hey, if she's a success, I will happily eat my words.
those people are fucking insane down there! all these young people MURDERED!!
LA TIMES:
Reporting from Mexico City —
Gunmen stormed a party in the border city of Ciudad Juarez and opened fire, killing at least 13 people and wounding 14 others, authorities said Saturday.
The Friday night shooting carried grim echoes of an attack on a Juarez teen party in January that left 15 people dead and raised a national outcry.
In the latest case, authorities said a group of men armed with assault rifles burst into the party, which was being held in two adjacent homes in a neighborhood called Horizontes del Sur.

The attackers opened fire "in an indiscriminate manner," said Carlos Gonzalez, spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the state of Chihuahua. Investigators found signs of more than 70 shots fired.
The victims who had been identified were between 16 and 25. A 9-year-old boy was among the wounded.
The Diario de Juarez newspaper reported on its website that one of the party-goers managed to flee, but was chased down and shot dead between a pair of parked cars.
Officials did not immediately offer a possible motive for the attack, the second time in a week that gunmen have fired upon a house party in Juarez. On Oct. 17, attackers killed nine people at a home near the city's airport.
The state prosecutor, Carlos Manuel Salas, was in Juarez to oversee the investigation, his office said.
TIJUANA, Mexico – A client at a drug rehab center in the Mexican border city of Tijuana said Monday that a gang of armed men burst into the building and gunned down 13 recovering addicts there.
The witness, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Jesus, for fear of reprisals, said he was attending a movie showing on the first floor of the center, and had stepped out for something to eat when the attacked occurred late Sunday.
When he returned, his fellow clients told him the attackers made the addicts lie on the floor, and then sprayed them with bullets. Other clients sleeping upstairs in the center also survived. There are normally about 45 clients at the center.
The attack on the ramshackle, privately run center is the first such mass killing at a rehab center in Tijuana, a city praised by some for its anti-gang efforts.
Several such attacks have killed dozens of recovering addicts in another border city, Ciudad Juarez, and a voice was heard over a police radio frequency later saying "this is a taste of Juarez."
While police have not identified the motive in the Tijuana slayings, drug gangs have attacked such centers before to target rival gang members.
In Ciudad Juarez, prosecutors' spokesman Arturo Sandoval said three municipal police officers were found shot to death outside their patrol vehicle on Sunday.
And in the southern Pacific coast state of Guerrero on Sunday, state police found the bound, executed bodies of six men on a highway outside the resort city of Acapulco.
