“Here in Colorado”
“Here in Colorado, Mexican authorities can’t have access to ME”
Porter Corn (Immigration Clearinghouse) on the lastest twist in the politicized saga surrounding the disappearance of David Hartley, last seen in Zapata County, Texas.
Tiffany Hartley, “widow” of David Hartley, the American allegedly slain on Falcon Lake on September 30, says she plans to remain in Colorado at her family’s 20-acre ranch, but she intends to use the media and the upcoming elections to help keep her husband’s murder in the spotlight.
She said: ‘Being here in Colorado, the media is going to be my way to get my voice out.’
Ms. Young-Hartley claims her husband was shot by Mexican “pirates” while jet-skiing in Mexican waters on Falcon Lake (on the Rio Grande River/Rio Bravo del Norte). With no body (which, had Mr. Hartley been on a jet ski, presumably was wearing a life-preserver and would have been floating), no jet ski and inconclusive eye-witness accounts that the Hartleys were, as they said, illegally entering Mexico, the mystery has become a political circus and is being milked for all its worth by self-interested “security experts” and amateur detectives.
Even if one assumes Hartley was murdered in Mexican waters, Ms.Young-Hartley’s odd behavior (making calm, deliberate political statements on national television talk-shows the day after the supposed murder) and her reluctance to cooperate with Mexican investigators suggest the story is either more complex… or, more likely, simpler, than it appears. Corn has suggested an “elaborate hoax”, but in his latest post on Tiffany Young-Hartley, quotes a “blog radio” personality, Peter Hyatt, as writing:
Previously, she said she was afraid of going to Mexico because she might be arrested there. Does Tiffany Hartley believe that she cannot be arrested on Mexican soil? If Mexican investigators are able to bring forth evidence showing that she was involved in the slaying of her husband, they could ask for extradition.
I can’t vouch for Hyatt (here’s the show, you can draw your own conclusions on his reliability), but I’m not immune to playing amateur detective myself. My betting (like Corn’s) is that Ms. Young-Hartley and/or her (presumably) late husband were involved in criminal activities of their own.

I agree and more…. What about the Texan sherriff who is in contact with the cartels and did nothing a far as getting her to make a statement to Mexican authorities. He knows the laws and knows she needed to make a formal statement in Mexico.
I say he somehow is connected to the whole dirty mess. Directly or indirectly he made the mistakes that can not be ignored. With approx. 2000 pounds of cocaine entering Texas highways every month….just makes me wonder.
Tiffany Hartley’s language, including passive language and omission of pronouns shows that she likely knows the identity of the shooter.
Tiffany Hartley’s language, including the use of passive language and omission of pronouns shows that she likely knows the identity of the shooter and is withholding this information.
Note also that each account she has given to media has had slight changes and some contradictions.
She changes pronouns and changes language; both may indicate that she is fabricating her account of what happened.
I believe that this is why she has not taken a polygraph.

I just do not get it. Tiffany said that after the “cartel” shot her husband, they looked at her with a “what do we do with her now” look. Please!!!! She could look at them long enough to “read” their thoughts yet she cannot I.D. them? Something is not right here. Did any of the gunshot hit her jet ski? A striking bullet would most likely ignite the gasoline in the tank. Three boats chasing her and every bullet missed a wide and open target yet a shooter was able to aim and shoot her husband right through the head. It takes a very good marksman to “hit” a moving target in the head which is the smallest target on the human body. One shooter could do that but many shooters couldn’t get Tiffany even in the back. No!!! She reminds me of the “Acid Lady” and this story reminds me of when Olivia Newton-Johns boyfriend went missing from a fishing boat at sea and was presumed dead only to be found alive and well about five years later. He wanted the insurance money for his family. If all of this had happened to me, I would be a basket case, and I would look like “death warmed over.” I would be in no condition to do the media blitz. Another thing, on her return to Colorado with her parents, she wanted to stop in San Antonio so she could show them where she and her husband had vacationed in the past. Isn’t it odd that the media was all there waiting for her? I wonder how they knew that she would be there. I resent her statements that we as Americans need to “wake up.” Worse is when she stated that President Obama needed to wake up. Tiffany needs to get a grip. Tiffany also needs to take a polygraph. Let her become the richest person in the world but have her take a polygraph first. If she is so innocent and if what she is saying is true, then why wouldn’t she?
