Yeah, this is something I could post on P&CE, but I've never posted over there...so, I'll post here.
What do you all think of the story? Do you believe the wife? I do not doubt that there are pirates in the lake--Tamps. has become extremely dangerous over the past few years. However, I don't believe her.
Why? When I first heard the story last week, she said she had escaped the pirates by jetting off. I read a story yesterday confirming that version of the story (I can't find the link, but found a very similar account with a video from ABC here.). This morning, I read this article on CNN and watched this video from NBC Today where she's saying they pulled up alongside her and is quoted as saying:
They didn't say anything to me, so I don't know what they were trying to think or what they were doing, but they left," she said. "They just left me there. Thankfully they didn't shoot at me. They had a gun pointed at me."
So, what do you think?
Re: Falcon Lake Shooting
This is actually the first I'm hearing of it. (I live under a rock.)
Are you saying that you doubt her story?
From what I can tell, US authorities are just believing her and not questioning her detail of events--although her story has changed. That's the big thing: her story changed.
I agree, Munkii, something fishy. It reminds of the guy that went overboard on his honeymoon cruise...
I would be shocked if the story she is telling is true.

LOL, did she really say that? Was she serious?
Lol, "you are totally going to die..." Totally.
Nice. So disregard the fact that Cancun and Reynosa are in two different states and the fact that the kidnappings and shootings are generally not happening around touristy areas (there are some, but they're few and far between--and generally have a Mexican connection). That co-worker is crazy! "You are totally going to die!!!"
Haha I know, she is nuts! I told her if I die then I am going to die tan, with a drink in my hand, on a beach and that is fine with me! I think she just knows she has to cover for me while I am gone so she is trying to scare me out of leaving.
