  • The fact that the banditos burned the truck kind of undermines the theory that the surfers were killed because the banditos were after the truck. What are they covering-up here?

    2 Australians and 1 American. They were robbed. Thrown into a well 7 miles away on top of a 4th earlier victim. Drug users did it. Boycott Mexico.

    Let me confirm what the (hastily concocted) story appears to be. The three surfers were killed execution-style and the bodies dumped in a well two kilometers away from their burned out campsite, all for their truck tires, which were then stolen. By implication the perpetrators jacked the truck up to remove each wheel, removed the tires from each rim, and then replaced the empty rims back onto the truck before setting it ablaze? Is that what the story is? Fishy.

    they dont talk about the 4th body found in the house close to the well, that body has been there a week longer, i think they found the body and then were executedfor finding it.

    Going to Mexico is like playing Russian Roulette
  • My condolences to their family and friends. I hope justice is swift and severe.

    This has been going on for years. It will continue to happen. Life means nothing to sociopaths. I feel sorry for america.

    Boycott the whole country until they make changes .
  • I live in a small and beautiful country in the West Indies. We are very appreciative of the tourists who come here. If tourists heed the sound advice that is given by the Board of Tourism, and the Hotel Association, they can enjoy a lovely vacation and return home safely. Nevertheless, I am terribly sorry for these three men who have died and their families. Crime happens everywhere, and we have to be careful while at home and abroad. Personally, I cannot be paid to visit certain countries; there, I have said it.
