Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday he has asked Mexico’s president to call him in the next 48 hours to say that the body of an American reportedly shot to death on a border lake has been recovered.
Tiffany Hartley of Milliken, Colo., says her husband, David, was shot by Mexican pirates on Falcon Lake last week as they were returning to the United States on Jet Skis. Falcon Lake is a dammed section of the Rio Grande that has been plagued by pirates who rob boaters and fishermen who wander into Mexican waters. Hartley’s death would be the first killing on the lake.
Mexican authorities have since questioned Hartley’s account, saying they’ve retrieved no evidence indicating that a crime was ever committed.
Perry, however, called any suggestion that the woman is lying “reprehensible.”
