I saw this pop up last week and didn't really want to engage because I knew this would be the outcome.

It's a bummer and hits close to home since it's familiar territory. We've been wanting to take the kids down to Baja. My MIL has been going down a bit lately.

Could have been a lot of people I know.

That being said, I totally understand the doubt some hold.

Did anything ever come of the story of the 2 lawyers at Calafia where the dude was found dead of an apparent trip off the balcony while his homegirl was "asleep in the bed"?

Saw a report claiming this all came about because the tweakers wanted to steal these guys' tires. Sad if true.

Crazy is more like it. That’s the story they’ve tortured out of them so far. Tires and parts. I’ve seen and heard lots of stories over the years but this is a different twist. Very sad.

I saw a photo of the burnt out truck, the wheels and melted tires were still on the truck. This is such a sad story all the way around. The skeletal remains of the land’s owner were found at the bottom of the 50’ deep well according to one media report. Farking nightmare, crushing for the families of the Mexican, Australian and American victims. RIP

This applies throughout everywhere.

Whenever foreign tourists are victims of a grisly murder it's more newsworthy because it's not the usual.
Of course.

Because getting shot in the head in a foreign country is evidently much worse and more newsworthy than getting popped in the south side of Chicago.

I just got off the phone with my friend that I used to go to PSJ with. We were reminiscing about getting shook down by Victor for cold beers in the evening and what fun wave it was on the right swell angle. Victor was a really good guy and it was his murder that was the last straw and why we stopped going there.
One of the things my friend mentioned was how many times we went there on a hunch and were the only ones there (even the fish camp deserted) and how exposed we were to this kind of situation. I don't think a bag of M80s and skyrockets would would have been too helpful in the long run....

The guys were camping....The tweakers came across them and decided to rob them. Campers fought back and were killed. Tweakers loaded the bodies in the truck, drove to the well(where they had already dumped Victor's body) and dumped them. Drove the truck a few miles away and torched it, trying to hide the evidence(the truck and whatever human remains were in the bed of the truck).

No "tires" involved.

Super sad.

I dont think it was Victors body. He was killed like a decade ago. It was a different local, possibly the owner of the ranch on which the bodies were found according to one article.
