More on Mexican crime

From the reputable travel site, Gadling:

 

"Early reports of the incident left the impression that the tourists were robbed by a group of armed men in the city of Puerto Vallarta. But those reports were soon corrected to reflect the fact that the incident actually occurred in a remote jungle area well outside the city and involved a lone gunman, not a gang."

That's correct.

Thank You!!! I knew there had to be more to the original story and this confirms it!!

 

Definitely a remote area, in a location normally not taken to and not the normal time fram for the tour itself....... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/carnival-cruise-guests-describe-robbery-mexico-puerto-vallarta.html I must say that I do have to "wonder" at the driver/tour guide..... JUST my own opinion, but smells funny to me...

That was the first thing my dh said when he heard about the story. Does seem very fishy.

That was my first thought, as well as my boyfriend, who lives in Mexico. His first comment was, "that was a set up."
