Widow Tiffany at David Hartley's funeral. 13 MS13 gangbangers massacred by Mexican police on Falcon Lake in Texas
Local Texas sheriffs and ACLU issued a joint statement, "this mass shooting of drug dealers by Mexican police in Texas will have a chilling effect upon American law enforcement tasked with delivering narcotics for the Obama White House, or upon their own initiative."
Severed head of officer hunting for U.S. man lost to Mexican pirates on Falcon Lake is 'delivered to military in suitcase'
The lead Mexican investigator hunting for an American man who disappeared after he and his wife were ambushed on Falcon Lake has been beheaded, a Texas lawmaker claimed today.
The severed head of Rolando Armando Flores Villegas was delivered to the Mexican military in a suitcase, Aaron Pena said today.
Flores was leading the Mexican side of the investigation into the disappearance of David Hartley.
His wife Tiffany has told police she and her husband were ambushed by pirates while jet-skiing on the popular lake on September 30.
They shot her husband in the head, she claimed. She tried to rescue him but was forced to abandon his body when the pirates opened fire at her.
His body still has not been found.
Flores was working on the investigation with a team of officers on Monday, Lesley Lopez, the press secretary for U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas told CNN.
The investigators had an informal meeting last night, she said, before going home for the evening.
But this morning Flores' wife apparently arrived at the station in desperation. She said her husband had not arrived home last night and asked if officers there had heard from him.
'Shortly after,' Lopez said, 'they found his head in the suitcase'.
The suitcase had been left in front of the military base in Miguel Aleman, Mexico - across the border from Roma, Texas, and near Falcon Lake, she said.
Details were fuzzy, she said, because shaken Mexican authorities were not answering their phones.
David Hartley's father Dennis expressed his shock and regret at the killing.
'I just, I'm in shock about this right now,' he told the Associated Press. 'I really don't have any hope that David will be found. 'I really hate other people putting their lives at stake,' he added from his Colorado home. 'We don't need more sons lost. If this is true, I'm just really heart-broken that this happened.'
Tamaulipas state prosecutor's office spokesman Ruben Rios confirmed that Flores, the head of state investigators in the border city of Ciudad Miguel Aleman, was killed.
Rios did not say how Flores was killed.
But he claimed his slaying was unrelated to the investigation into David Hartley.
However, U.S. authorities say threats from drug gangs who control much of the area have hampered the search for Hartley's body.
Flores' death came a day after authorities in the attorney general's office gave confusing information out over suspects in the Hartley case.
Initial reports claimed that police were investigating two brothers who were 'well known to the area'.
But a spokesman for the attorney general said they had nothing official on the suspects.
Yesterday Mrs Hartley and her mother-in-law, Pam Hartley, appeared on television talk shows begging for help.
'Until we have him back, it's not final,' Mrs Hartley said on NBC's The Today Show.
13 killed in clash on Mexico-U.S. border lake
Twelve suspected members of the Zetas drug gang and a member of Mexico's Navy were killed in a shootout on an island in a lake that straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said Monday.
The Mexican Navy said the shootout occurred Sunday on Falcon Lake, located between Texas and the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, after troops patrolling the area spotted a camping area on an island.
The suspected drug traffickers used the island for storing marijuana to be transported by boat to the United States, the Navy said in a statement.
After the shootout, the Navy said it seized guns, ammunition and bullet-proof vests from the island.
Falcon Lake drew the attention of law enforcement authorities on both side of the border last September after an American man on a personal watercraft was reportedly ambushed by attackers and shot in the head.
2010: 'He took a bullet for me,' Falcon Lake victim's wife says.
Tiffany Hartley told police that she and her husband were riding water scooters on the lake on September 30 when they were attacked.
Her husband's body has not been found, and the case has remained unsolved.
"It didn't happen in the United States," said Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez.
Suspects in Falcon Lake killing identified.
And Mexican authorities, he told CNN last month, have "somewhat of a zero solvency rate, and a zero conviction rate."
"So unfortunately, this case may remain open forever, even though the information and the evidence may be there," according to Gonzalez.
