Authorities are investigating human remains found at the same U.S. border lake where a Colorado man was reported to have been killed by Mexican drug cartel members last year.
A professional fisherman found the skeletal remains on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake on the Texas-Mexico border, according to multiple reports.
The skeleton was found about 15 miles from where 30-year-old David Hartley was last seen alive on Sept. 30, 2010. His wife, Tiffany Hartley, said the couple had set out on Wave Runners to take photos of a half-submerged church on the Mexican side of the lake when they were attacked.
Hartley told authorities that her husband was shot in the back of the head while the couple tried to dodge bullets from three boats of Mexican pirates. The woman told investigators she was forced to leave her husband lying face down in the water because she was unable to pull him onto her watercraft. Hartley's body has never been recovered.

I can understand thinking it, as one of many possibilities, but there were many posters who came out and outright accused her.
What’s the old saying “don’t believe everything you think”?
FoxNews posted this 8 hours ago.
Except for the Denver Post, not a peep from any other national MSM news outlets.
Thanks for posting; covering. BTTT!
There was a murder of an American citizen-and subsequently the decapitation of the Mexican chief investigator tasked with solving the crime-this no-account scumbag was casting aspersions upon the character of this man's widow.
maybe. I’m sure that our consular officials and the Federales and Mexican state (Tamaulipas?) are just working furiously on this \s.
Can’t say whats legal in Mexico but in TX moving the deceased without telling the sheriff first is .. troublesome to explain later.
Gonzalez is retiring after this Congress, FWIW.
“Where are all those posters who thought she was faking it?”
I remember it being Big Media leading that charge, because Hussein was busy fighting Arizona.
I don’t recall many at all here believing that she was faking it.
ZAPATA COUNTY - Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez says we may never know the identity of the person whose human remains were found at Falcon Lake.
The skeletal remains were found in Mexican waters in Falcon Lake just across from San Ygancio, Texas, about 13 miles north of Zapata. A professional fisherman, Alton Jones of Waco, found what appeared to be a human skeleton.
Jones spoke out about what happened on his Facebook account. He posted that he and the folks with him told Border Patrol. Sheriff Gonzalez says we may never know the identity of these bones.
"In the past, we have had bodies that we have seen floating. They are deceased. Sometimes it's taken Mexican authorities up to a month to respond and sometimes still they don't find the body. It disappears," says Gonzalez.
The last time a body was reported to Zapata County sheriff's deputies was three months ago. They still don't know the identity of that body.
