Elliot Blair was my Public Defender I didn't have a long time knowing him but his vibe make me considered as a friend he was helping me out in any way he could he was a very nice person and was very passionate about his work he was helping me in my case and tragically he was gone it hurt me really bad when I saw it in the news but I believe that he was murdered or set up by the same police officers that has stopped that same day I believe that Elliot was being kidnapped and he fought back and I do believe the authorities in Mexico are all corrupted!
I have a pet rescue pigeon and pigeons are diurnal, they wake up at sunrise and sleep at sunset. there is no way pigeons were being so loud Elliot had to go shush them... not even during the day are they that loud! what an absurd explanation. my heart goes out to the entire family
I thought that too.
Good to know. I agree- definitely an absurd statement. They could have at least come up with something better than that
@@RachelShannon sadly Rachel it’s another country and it’s not the USA or Canada, people don’t have rights for justice like we do, and if they found the person or people who did it what then ? I bet nothing. As much as I would love to see justice being served I don’t think it will happen. Rip to this young man
@@FactoryZ tell that story to OJ. Or stick to anime.
@@nuckinfuts7610 wow, you're a creepy stalker.
They told the police they were lawyers, showed them id's with their names and told them where they were staying. I'm almost positive they went back for them, at night, for more money. He probably fought back. I've also heard the hotel employees are in on some robberies.
I think this too and maybe he moved outside to protect his wife x
Im from South America, and unfortunately in many places where something dodgy happens to tourists and there is no information coming out, there’s either the police or the organized crime involvement. When they aren’t involved, usually the police will go the extra mile to show the media that they are doing all they can, or, the organized crime will get who ever was responsible and deal with them on theirs terms, because they don’t want the police investigating them and messing their business up. Anyway, I feel so sorry for the family, may they get their answers soon
Exacty this
The wife needs to be ruled out too, as a precaution and per the #1 rule: Spouse is the first suspect. I don't see anybody questioning her in this case, though, don't know why.
Yes! I feel like if they attacked him why not her too? They would have R*** her or gone through the room. They would have known she was there too. Maybe a lover knew she was going to be there. Probably he had someone paid off. A lot of this doesn’t make sense. If the cops were involved they would have done something to Kimberly too. Idk I would look more into her life more
Absolutely. I’ve suspected all along the wife knows much more than she has revealed.
Mexico is the perfect place to commit a crime. 1. There's a lot of crime already, so it's easy to sneak a story in and shift the attention to the corrupt cops. 2. The police aren't properly trained so the scene can easily be ruled as mishandled and again shift blame to a coverup. 3. It's another country with different jurisdictions, which a lawyer knows very well. She definitely needs to be looked at more
But why would she demand another autopsy?
@@BBWBrynn Every news article I’ve seen states “the family” demanded the private autopsy, so we can’t be sure if the wife or her in-laws, or both, should get the credit.
I have a situation that happened to a friend of mine , when he was on a trip to Mexico about 20 years ago. His name is Jason , he is a successful business owner. He was driving a new truck at the time. He had only had the truck for about a month. Anyway, him and a friend were pulled over for ,” suspicious of selling drugs.” Jason doesn’t speak Spanish but was able to understand that much. They arrested them both and said they were going to take the truck in “ to search it for drugs.” After being in jail for several days , Jason was told ,” they could be released but would have to leave the truck.” The alternative was to stay until they were ,” done with the truck.” Yet , couldn’t be told how long that would take. Jason and his friend came home. He never saw that truck again but was just happy to be free. He said he would never go to Mexico again. He said his jail time was traumatic. Oh and incase you’re curious, no there were no drugs , they were not selling or buying drugs.
same thing happened to my ex-husband. I even overheard the cops say they wanted his jeep and so they impounded it. turns out on a mere suspicious of a crime the police can impound your vehicle and take all your money. they don't even have to prove it in court. Did I mention this was in the US? I was so traumatized I would never go back either, too bad I'm stuck in this shithole country
The payments on that new truck. I guess he would have to file a police report or something to say it was stolen by Mexican authorities to avoid continuing to pay for a truck you don't even have anymore.
Heard a story similar to this that happened to a friend of a friend. Pretty crazy
It's really sad to think that she wouldn't have any knowing that her husband 1, was missing and 2, the police were already there and never bother to knock on her door until after they declared him dead?!!. I find that in other countries especially Mexico and parts of tourist area. There are so much corruption especially with the case of shanquilla Robinson whose case is still open. With the 5 people that she went on a trip with and killed her in her hotel room at the resort They were staying at. it's so sad that they have so much government corruption and cover-ups because they're all in it together paid off by the higher ups.
After reading the comments and hearing this story, it makes me never want to visit Mexico. I’m already wary of travel but this seals the deal. Just not that adventurous. 🤓
His wife’s “pantslessness” theory 👖 is compelling.
Very few things would be urgent enough to make a man suddenly leave his hotel room without any pants on. Not to mention something that made him neither bring his wife along, nor wake her up to alert her that this alarming urgent thing was even happening.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
It’s super sad that they were “happy that nothing else happened” after being robbed by a POLICE OFFICER. That’s absolutely disgusting and messed up. I feel for the people who have to live around this type of corruption.
I was thinking that. I know we have our own type of corruption here in the US but it’s definitely not on that level 😮
This is why I don't go to Mexico. Living in California for many many years, many of friends would go and nearly every time they would be robbed. This is heartbreaking and there is so much corruption in Mexico, that unfortunately I doubt the truth in this case will be found.
That’s horrible that that happens so often. Glad you are safe, and I agree. It makes me not want to go to Mexico after hearing this story, and so many like it.
I don't go either. I live by the border and believe me, the stories I hear....
America will be this way soon enough, no need to travel.
He had the most beauitiful, warm smile ans intelligent eyes. What a huge loss to the world.
I hope the wife knows we don’t think her husband was some drunk. It shouldn’t matter what anyone thinks… but it shows that he was a good guy. This whole case is terrifying and heartbreaking. It’s definitely extremely sketchy and I hope they keep pressing for these answers. Please keep us updated!
This case is definitely terrifying. And I agree. I am confident that everyone remembers Elliot as the amazing and dedicated defense attorney that he was.
Lovely message and I agree but don't forget alcoholics are people too and don't deserve this either😊 a lot of them are good ppl just like Elliott
This is such a sad and awful case.. when they got pulled over they were asked what hotel they were staying in and the couple also showed their work badges showing that they both are attorneys. So I wonder if the police did have something to do with it. They could have easily showed up to that hotel and asked the front desk for their room number bc they needed to question them for some reason. Idk it just all seems very strange.
Not strange at all, they were set up, people go to Mexico because it's cheap, absolutely not worth it, I'd like to bet every car is targeted, honestly, go somewhere lawful, it's not worth your life and the resulting cover up, disgusting...
How did his wife sleep through all of that though? Doesn’t make sense.
@Reggiezombie Not THAT heavy.
There are many times that I disagree with the way the United States justice system works and there are definitely faults within our system but stories like this makes me appreciate the manner in which our justice system operates. I can’t imagine being pulled over and the police officer demanding cash. Them getting away with this, in itself, infuriates me but then to have the crime covered up with the possible support of the Mexican government is just s heinous!!!
Exactly. We have so many problems but seeing other cases like this makes me happy we at least have a bit of checks and balances
that literally happens in the US though. if you get pulled over all they have to do is say they suspect you of a crime and they can take all of your stuff and you can't fight back. for example, if you're carrying $2,000 in cash they can say that seems suspicious and just take it and you can't do anything about it. it's called civil asset forfeiture.
seriously, if you don't know about it I think John Oliver has an episode on it. the US has an AWFUL justice system that is legalized slavery, so we really don't have to give them props on...anything
@@mischr13 I agree. The US justice system does the same thing. It happened to my brother. They had suspicion of him selling prescription drugs because he had a piece of toilet paper that had aspirin in it. They said they had to confiscate everything he had with him so they took his money that was from his check he had just cashed & had proof of it. They cared less & took his money & even after all other charges were dropped since it was aspirin they still kept his money. It’d cost him more to hire an attorney to get it back so they are no different than Mexico.
@@mischr13 Go live in Africa, Mexico, South America, the Middle East, China, North Korea, Belarus or Russia for a month. Your attitude would be different. You have absolutely zero respect for the freedoms Americans enjoy. Freedoms that millions have given their lives for. Freedom to be whatever you want & live how you choose, especially as a woman. Laws. First responders that come when you dial 911. That ungrateful attitude is sickening.
This is the exact thing that happened to me. Years ago I was dating a guy who was in a band in Peoria AZ. I flew out from my home town in RI to go on a drive to Mexico for a weekend. He had a nice car for the time era…At the time there was no fancy gps so we had our directions for the resort saved on our laptop. We drove through the boarder as we made our way to the Mexican resort we were so excited to stay in….immediately we were pulled over and told to drive behind a building. Two cops pulled us out. One told my ex to give him his wallet while the second stared at me quietly. He said we didn’t have our seatbelts on- which is why he pulled us over. Lies. )3 took the laptop out of the front seat near where I was sitting (it was out because we were using the save directions on it). Then asked if I was his wife- he said, gf. He could see we were headed to a resort from the maps on the screen . “She’s very pretty.. if you’d like to have her company at the resort you’ll have to give us $500”. I started sobbing. The second cop started laughing and touched my hair. My ex told him to take anything he wanted- just leave us our id’s and the car and we will not say anything. They looked into the car and in the back seat of the little sports car (Nissan Z, it had just come out that year) was his acoustic guitar. They took that, all of my jewelry (nothing expensive, but sentimental from my late grandmother), all our cash which was about $300ish dollars. They told him to get back in the car. The second cop stayed standing with me. The first told him he is going to give him his keys back- but if we report or say anything he knew where we were going to be. Then, the second cop pushed me back into my seat- but grabbed my chest as he did. I was so scared I had actually peed myself. They noticed and both started laughing. They slammed our doors shut and took off. We were traumatized. We were still 2 hours from our resort. The whole ride we were so scared to be pulled over again- we would have nothing if we were. We checked in. We said nothing. We stayed that night and then left as soon as the sun came up. We got to the boarder- and after we crossed back reported what happened. There was nothing we could do. Nothing. We were too scared to say anything in Mexico for good reason. We were lucky- but to this day I have night terrors from this incident. This happens. It’s real. Please everyone- be careful.
I had not heard about this incident and was hesitant to finish watching the video because it triggered me so much but I feel it is important that people hear these stories and use them as a cautionary tale
That is horrible. I can't imagine going through that. Anyone would be traumatized. I can't imagine living in a country like that either. That would really suck.
I am so sorry that happened to you both but I feel these stories have to be shared everywhere in hopes that Mexican tourism suffers so badly that they finally clean up their act and put all police who are as bad as the criminals in jail where they belong 😡😡😡
wow! And to think I always wanted to go to mexico, thats terrifying!
@@joywilliams7657 I completely agree- it isn’t fun retelling my story… but it happens to real people and so often we have a false sense of security while traveling. I hope other people do see these stories and it sparks a change
@@NikkiC777 I still struggle with it to be completely honest. I just hope others hear my story and take it to heart to travel safely
This is so sad. Imagine going on a vacation to celebrate and not coming back alive. I definitely believe it had something to do with what happened earlier in that day. I guess what’s strange is how nobody heard anything. Thank you for being a voice for others! I love your page!
It’s such a sad case and really scary to think that things like this can unfortunately happen. Thank you for watching and supporting! ♥️
Imagine going on vacation to celebrate your love and having to go home alone. Truly heartbreaking and brutal. I agree that it likely had to do with the police interaction. It's scary to think of police being that level of corrupt.
@@tiffanygriffiths3612 that’s still better than not coming home at all..
I Agree
When they were pulled over by police and giving information at which resort they are staying, that was a red flag for me, that is how they found them and this tragedy happened. This is no accident at all. I never trust anyone including my neighbours and I am always careful what I say. Never tell anyone which resort you are staying at if you leave that resort. My condolences to the family and wife, I cannot imagine what Kimberly and parents are going through. I really hope they get the answers they deserve and fight for those answers.
This is so sad, I'm from Venezuela, another dangerous country. Sadly, I wouldn't go back to visit because of things like this, we have beautiful beaches and amazing people, but also really bad people as anywhere else.
It is so heartbreaking 😭 that he was killed on his anniversary 💔 I feel so bad for both of them and their families. Mexico is such a dangerous place, I would definitely not visit.
So sad when such beautiful places have so many problems. Such a sad situation for Elliot and his family :/
This is so heartbreaking. I don’t think it was an accident at all. But it seems like if someone was banging on the door it would have woken her up too. I feel so bad for Kimberly. Her life changed forever and it was supposed to be a happy time in their lives. I definitely want to follow this case until someone is held accountable.
It would be interesting to know how heavy/ light of a sleeper Kimberly is. But I agree. Such a sad situation for her 😭
I'm a heavy sleeper unless it's my kids
@@RachelShannon
*Being how they were drinking that night, she was probably sleeping much heavier than usual.*
*I PRAY SO HARD she gets answers*
@@sharonmartin1223 I am too. I can sleep through anything but my kids feet hit the floor and I’m awake. Maybe it wasn’t banging on the door that got him outside but I don’t feel like it was an accident
I think the cops came back because they were lawyers and that fact scared them. I think they stood outside his door talking loudly and he just had enough and threw the door open to let them know he caught them but it was a ruse to get him to open the door. Probably both start hitting him and in his panic he was able to shut the door behind him to protect her. I bet they intended to kill them both but couldn't get back in the room so they drug him down under the balcony and got out of there before they were seen by someone else. In my mind that's how it all can be explained him just getting out of shower half dressed no pants and most bathroom doors are right next to the doorway of the hotel. If he was able to close the door after he was first hit his last outstanding act of kindness was protecting her because I think they intended to go in and kill them both. Mexico is so shady and we have no protection even if we are Americans they simply do not care and know they can get away with most anything even murder. That's why I stay in our country because when you leave you are on your own without your rights and we have lived that way for so long we become victims in a country who's own ppl are risking death daily to try to get out of. No way will you find me there never never.
With all the problems going on in Mexico and Central and south America , why people continue to go on vacation and move there esp in retirement when there are safer environments!! Let alone just let any illegal to just come in without legal documents to bring what goes on in other countries here to the US and even Canada shows the ignorance of people.
May Elliot get the justice he deserves! Love and strength to his wife and rest of his family x
All for 100 + dollars? And idk why they would disclose they’re lawyers. I feel like thats more dangerous bec people would think you have a lot of money. Very sad case
I was with a group of friends in an F 150 and got pulled over in Rocky Point, my friend who was driving lives in Mexico and before anyone even really spoke my friend just handed them some money and they took it and left. They barely even glanced at the rest of us.
He actually even told us if we got pulled over without him, to just offer the police money. Because it’s better than having to go to police station or trying to pay a ticket later on. This was quite a few years ago though.
Yes, and you can even offer less than what theyre asking for. I really don't believe they would bother going back for more, specially killing for it... they usually get like 40 dollars, with 160 and they would go back smiling with joy.
Common sense: if you travel to a country that's known for its corruption and you decide to drive a vehicle, you should be prepared to pay the price. I'm talking from experience here. Disturbing case and clearly a cover-up, not the first and not the last. Rest in peace Elliott, I hope they'll find your killer.
Edit: it IS weird Kimberly didn't hear anything. She must have been very vast asleep.
thats what is so strange to me.
Victim blaming? Not cute. Disgusting
@@kieramcgregor Which victim did I blame? I've been to some countries (like 10 times) where I was aware of the different safety issues (mildly speaking here). I've been bribed about 5 times, and guess what? i payed, every friggin time! Some people just have to get their head out of their as** when they go abroad. That's it, the whole situation is sad, that doesn't change, but according to you we can't warn others now can we?
Same extortion happened to my BF in Dominican Republic. He had to pay over $500 because the police was very aggressive and they wanted to took him and his girl to jail
I have pretty much given up vacationing in places where there is a lot of control or violence. I will do some traveling in my great state of Ohio.
I feel so bad for Kimberly and his family and friends.
So sad
I feel the same way… some places just aren’t worth it
@@RachelShannon
Love your page.😊
My husband was shaken down for $300 by police at an airport in Venezuela in order to just make a connecting flight. They made it clear he would be delayed and miss his flight unless he paid them. So much corruption.
Occams razor would bet that after being stopped by the cops and being extorted for their cash and the cops being told that they were both attorneys the cops went away and talked about it and worried that the couple could get them into serious trouble and so went to the hotel to warn them not to talk about the extortion and were not happy with the reply and so dragged Elliot out of the hotel and killed him, I can't see how anything else would be possible.
I think we all know what happened here, ugh this is awful and disgusting! I hope they get justice, Mexican officials cannot keep getting away with shit like this! Although unfortunately I don’t think it’ll ever change
I know Mexico has some beautiful places but it doesn’t seem worth it to even go there! I wouldn’t take the chance.
Then don’t
@@alphabettown04 this is why I rarely comment. No need to go out of your way to be a butthead
@@ajbonjovi That’s your problem, not mine. No need to go out of your way to be ignorant.
@@alphabettown04 😘 ✌🏼❤️
How did the wife not hear anything?? Is she such a deep sleeper? There would of been some noise in any of the theories!
A few notes from someone who has used pretty litter:
It is actually very messy in my experience. We had mats under all litter boxes and we were still sweeping / vacuuming litter from all over the house.
It also doesn't do much for smell like it claims. I eventually had to switch to a new litter because the smell from the pretty litter made me throw up everytime I tried to clean their boxes.
The company was also AWFUL about shipping. We never got our new bags on time, and a few times we straight up never got them at all. We always had to use the litter longer than we wanted because their shipping system was so bad
I myself would never recommend anyone use it, but i hope those who do have a better experience than I did
Yeah it was terrible for my cat too lol and way too expensive. I prefer 24/7 Performance by Purina!
Yes, Plus it is not good for cats according to The Cat Whisperer Jackson Galaxy. We have 4 rescue kitties at home, four litter boxes and use old school clay litter. It is not pretty, but it works! Lol
@@rainbeau5164 the key are plain wood pellets 8 dollars for a 40lb bag no smell all natural!
@@MaddyIntravia wood pellets, cheap, all natural and no smell
@@chelseagirl278 do you use a sifting box? I just saw a vid on how to make DIY sifting litter boxes for the wood pellets. haven't made the conversion yet
Hii
Exactly 💯
I agree. True crime is definitely not an “entertainment” topic for me. It’s education and awareness for victims. I’m sorry for whatever you had to go through and I’m sorry you haven’t gotten the justice you deserve😞
Yup same
@@RachelShannon I appreciate that. I've come to terms with it and i just try to do what I can for other survivors, and the victims. Their lives were taken but their LIGHTS were not
Same I was kidnapped and assaulted with my friend
How terrible…something needs to be done about the police pulling people over for money. This is a tragic case and I pray they get justice.
Agreed. It’s horrible that this happens so often. I hope the family gets the justice they deserve.
There is DEFINITELY a lot more to this case!! So messed up 🥺
I know right. I think there’s more going on here too.
Is there something that I missed? The statement that the wife said he wouldn’t go outside in just his underwear unless someone was pounding on the door, did she not hear anything? Was she a little bit more intoxicated than he was? I am not blaming her at all just have questions as to why she didn’t hear anything.
@@kristatalley3138 His wife said "Unless someone was pounding on the door..." she was speculating; the fact that she didn't wake from pounding on the door suggest that a room key was used. Why would anyone take the words of a traumatized woman, who was obviously trying to make sense of what really happened as anything other than speculation?
How do they let cops get away with asking people for money? Are they not reported or does it matter?
I feel like the bruise on his forearm was not from being grabbed but from trying to defend his head....
I think the police took them disclosing being lawyers as a threat. They knew what hotel they were at and their names, so was not hard to find them. They probably entered the room while both were asleep and threw him over the balcony
Without the wife waking up?
@@chantelbrown4752 yes. If they had a room key and both were asleep, I think it could have been done without waking the wife
Yes I think him being a lawyer and not just handing cash like most tourist unfortunately Made him a target everyone knows American lawyers are rich.it's terrifying this happened
Or knocked on the door and only he heard and answered
And I think we need to expose what resort that was , so nobody gives them business because someone working there clearly gave the room number and or room key
I can't believe that he would have fallen and there weren't any more fractures on his body except for several to his skull. It makes no sense. Also, if the Paramedics had already been there he should have been rolled over on his back if they had tried any life saving measures. It would be interesting to see if they were ever there. IMO, this was no accident. So very sad 😔 I hope his Wife and family get the answers they deserve
How did this girl not wake up? If it was a disruptive attack that began inside the room I am shocked she was able to sleep through it soundly.
Not everyone wakes up from sounds, especially if they’ve been drinking. I’ve screamed in the same room and blasted music while my sister is sleeping, and she doesn’t wake up. Some people are just heavy sleepers. I’d be curious to know if she’s a heavy sleeper or not
I use to be a heavy sleeper and sleep through anything......until I had kids....now every little sound wakes me up 😂
Rachel, would you consider covering the case of Christian Glass, if you haven't already? It's a super important case that hasn't left my mind since it happened in June of last year.
I hope this is solved. Everyone deserves justice. Heartbreaking 😭 shady shady smh
I hope so too. And I agree. Hoping for justice for everyone involved ♥️
@@RachelShannon Absolutely!!! 🙏🏽🕊️💯
I was hit by a van and then robbed in Mexico. The police also threatened to arrest us on 2 totally separate occasions. I was in reallllyyyyyyy bad shape medically and was near death due to their incredibly poor and unsanitary healthcare. The police showed up to the hospital to collect money from us…..: I was horrified. I was the victim. I was the one hit and robbed! I would never ever go back to that corrupt place. What they get away with is truly disgusting.
Also, it is possible that someone attempted to rob him on his way back to his room and perhaps they were angry because he didn’t have any cash or anything of value on him since he had given all of his cash to the corrupt officer there. The police that showed up to the hospital threatened to arrest us if we did not pay THEM money…… NOT the hospital. But we were somehow responsible for this “accident” according to them.
Rachel, I’m SOO glad ur channel is FINALLY gaining followers & the recognition that u so deeply deserve!!! Keep up the good work & thank u for all that u do!❤ Have a great day🥰

Thank you so much!! And thanks for sticking around 😊😊
Why didn’t all the noise and activity wake up the wife??
Because she’s not telling the complete truth.
So I grew up in SoCal and we frequented TJ often. Last time I went was like 20+ years ago, but that time was the time we experienced issues with the Mexican police. My mom and grandma are immigrants to US, my GMA has dual citizenship and my mom has a green card. They were asked if they were us citizens on the way back to California, my mom said no, but wasn't able to finish, they took her, my gma and my cousin back into Mexico. We had their papers in the car in California, but there ny siblings and I were in California and my mom in Mexico. My dad was at work and my aunts were visiting. So a bunch of kids and women. It took hours and about $1000.00 to get them back over the boarder.
In this case I think the cops were invovled, I think they hired some thugs to go collect on some money, they got him out of the room, beat him up and threw him over the stairwell. As for him being face down, they said that people had already been there and processed the scene and determined he was dead, so it wouldn't surprise me if they moved the body at some point.
I’m three minutes into the video and I’m so sorry and sad to hear that a fellow Titan is gone. 😢
Well according to forensics, and medical examiner we know this was NO ACCIDENT!!! Something happened that night and someone holds all the answers. Let's just pray the family see justice in this case and that this doesn't happen again!!!
Agreed. I really hope the family gets the answers they deserve :/
I am really glad to hear you giving news of this situation. Lived a long life nearish to the border and most people just don't understand the dangers, even of a resort. So very many wonderful people in Mexico, but it is a different country and culture. And so very many people don't understand how to have safety in mind. I am glad you shared about your knowledge of the car and how to carry yourself. Very important.
It is very odd that the wife hasn't heard any commotion, banging on the door, husband getting up.....!?!?!?!?
What about security cameras at the hotel!?!? There are so many questions that should have had answers by now!!!
Decades ago my boyfriend and I went to Rosarito Beach in a new luxury vehicle with Cali plates. While driving my boyfriend was pulled over. Mind you, the locals were driving a lot faster than us but the police stopped him for speeding. Cops left him alone but targeted me, they dumped my purse, crushed my cigarettes and stated they suspected me of drug trafficking. I was being handcuffed and my boyfriend asked the police where they were taking me and they pointed away from the city and towards the desert. I looked up at my boyfriend and pleaded don't let them take me. He had to pay the police officers for them to let me go. They are horrible!
This is so sad and scary. So glad his wife is doing everything she can to figure out what happened. I personally don’t feel like it was an accident.
Thank you for all the work you do for these cases. Love the channel.
Thank you! I am not convinced it's an accident either
Either the police who stopped him or don't forget the wife with no alibi who claims that she was sleeping. How did she seem when the security guard roused her?
Exactly, I hate to accuse her, but it's very sketchy that she didn't hear anything whatsoever. She didn't hear or notice her husband getting out of the bed, answering the door or whatever he did, didn't hear any noise at all even though there was blood in the bathroom and right outside their room?? Why isn't she, at least, considered a person of interest? Idk.. Just seems a little sketchy to me... 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I had the same exact thoughts as both of you.
I've been to Rocky Point Mexico many times. When I was younger and lived inarizona , we used to go all the time when our friends came to visit. One time my friends were pulled over and we were all young and under age. Someone had a pot pipe and it was found. They cops said "we take cars or money." They scared the shit out of my friends, one started crying loudly. Luckily they just gave them a bit of cash and they were let go. Probably because none of us had much money and they saw that. Lesson learned though:)
Growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, I can totally relate to handling the police from a young age. Once my friend was driving and my sister and I were in the car along with our gringo friends. We’re all under age of driving. We tried to give an incentive (read $) to the officers because that’s what you do. Well, we came across one of the few Brazilian cops who didn’t accept those incentives and almost all went to jail. How did we get away with it you may ask? We all started crying 😅
I have no desire to everrrrrr go to Mexico... it's too dangerous and LE is crooked AF. She'll be lucky if they ever find out what happened to him and that's sad. I can't even fathom going through what she went through! 😭
They told them they didn't have money but end up telling them they are both attys so they know that was a lie and they could have been pissed off for being lied to. I'm really surprised that they let them go.
I am so sick of hearing people make excuses saying things like "his alcohol level was .02% over the legal limit." The legal limit you are referring to was for if you are driving a vehicle...not just in general so that statement is just stupid and ridiculous!
Yes it’s for driving a vehicle but also a good reference point for how intoxicated someone was. If they are barely above the limit to drive- then it says they weren’t all that drunk.
I don't think I will ever visit Mexico because of so many shady cases like this.
The best thing to do is to give them whatever money you have. Dont argue, Don't tell the police any personal information. Dont tell them where you are staying if they ask...lie basically. I thinkthis poor man was targeted because he resisted the police and told them he was a lawyer etc..etc. they dont give two shts who you are..they will retaliate if they feel inclined to do so.
Very earie similar story to the firefighter who died in Mexico at a resort with his wife there also. Didn't they (Mexico law) also say alcohol was to blame and it was done by himself. Ya very earie
Only 5-6 drinks!?!!! That’s drunk!
I wonder if he saw someone messing with the door handle took off running to stop whoever it was and was dragged out of the room at the same time just so confusing!
Why didn't she hear anything? You would think somebody would have heard something.
It made me wonder how much of a deep sleeper she is, and if her consuming alcohol affected it. My sister sleeps through literally everything, while I wake up from everything. Everyone’s different
This is probably one of the strangest one to date. I cannot figure out how the wife didn't hear anything? Maybe hit immediately so no noise? So strange
What if he went out of the room? If she goes to bed earlier and he stays up late? Maybe he wanted another drink and went out to get ice or hit the snack machine? My husband goes to bed around 10 pm and I lay in bed watching these videos with the sound on until usually 3 to 4 am and he NEVER wakes up. If I left the house in the middle of the night he would have no clue. (I say this because I am literally up drinking wine while watching this as my husband is sound asleep next to me lol)
@@melbelle24 my husband is a super sound sleeper too so I don't know that he would of heard me leave the room. I am just a light sleeper, I literally wake up when my husband rolls over in bed. Idk so tragic and strange to say the least
The cops that pulled them over asked where they were staying, so they could have gone back at night to shake them down for more
I think the wife should be questioned more.. how is it that she didn’t wake up?? I wonder if they drugged her?
My son and his two friends had an extremely frightening experience in their motel room in Mexico. Around 2am their door was opened (they think by key as the door had been locked ) by two Mexicans with guns demanding all their money. As they had no cash on them they were threatened, roughed up and guns pointed at their heads. Luckily they had hired a Mexican guide who somehow managed to talk them out of it and they finally left but as you could imagine my son and friends were left severely shaken and traumatised. Be careful everyone Mexico may be a beautiful place to visit but it’s also very dangerous.
Did the rogue police who never got any cash from Elliot follow him to make sure he paid in some other way.
They, possibly thinking of his knowledge of the law etc would report them so they waited for an opportune moment................This young man's life seems to have been ripped away from him, and also God Bless his poor mother so soon after losing her husband. She would have needed him to lean on.
RIP Elliot.
I knew a guy in college that was on a balcony and dropped his phone just over the banister. He climbed over the banister to retrieve his phone, lost his balance, and unfortunately fell to his death. Not at all implying that *this* is what happened here, but tragic, seemingly impossible accidents happen all the time.
Also just want to gently correct you Rachel when you talk about the effects of alcohol. I recently was arrested for a dui. I had 4 drinks over a 9 hour period and was following the 1 drink per hour rule that you mentioned. My BAC was .19. My experience with dealing with this DUI has taught me so much about the impacts of alcohol and at the end of the day, it is truly so different for everyone. I think this information is important to share so that each individual recognizes their responsibility with determining the impacts of alcohol on their system, specifically. I didn’t know this until I was arrested, maybe if I did I would have been more vigilant. Now I carry a mini breathalyzer and I’ve learned that if I have one drink, I am at the legal limit. We are all different!
Much love and respect ❤
How come she didn't hear ANYTHING?
I’d like to know how heavy/ light of a sleeper she is
He could have left the room to get something. Like ice or snacks. If he was a night owl like me.... I know that I would be up way past the time my husband goes to bed. And half the time if we have had some drinks I will have another night cap even after he is sound asleep. That or she is a heavy sleeper. I just watched this whole video at full sound and my husband has been asleep for the entire time - I think if the world was ending he could sleep through it.
Definitely FOUL PLAY. PROBABLY BY THE PEOPLE THAT PULLED THEM OVER... MY HEART BREAKS FOR ELLIOT'S WIFE, FAMILY AND FRIENDS... MAY JUSTICE BE SERVED 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
there is NO WAY it was traffic police who got something to do with Elliots death. Traffic police in corrupt countries have PLENTY of different ways to make people pay cash. Following people into their hotel is not one of this ways.
There is big chance that Mexican police covering something. American tourist killed in Mexica is bad publicity for the whole country, not only for the hotel he died.
When I lived in AZ, my friends always told me that you always take a beatdown or older not-so-nice vehicle when going to Rocky Point because the Mexican Police will target newer and/or expensive cars. They told stories about being pulled over and because they spoke Spanish (even broken Spanish) they were let go. I never went with them bc the military forbid any members & their family members going to Rocky Point (or Mexico).
I live in Tijuana about 25 minutes from Rosarito. I had booked a reservation at Las rocas for Valentine's day, i immediately cancelled after hearing this. May he rest in peace 🙏
DO NOT TRAVEL TO MEXICO. I live in TX. We see horror story, after horror story now. I REPEAT...DO NOT TRAVEL TO MEXICO. As a matter of fact, don't even travel anywhere below the (former) US Southern border.
My family and I drove to Mexico to visit family over Christmas break in ‘95. My dad got pulled over really late at night while the rest of us were asleep. The officer held my dad up at gun point, demanding money. My dad gave him $500 and the @sshole smiled and said, “have a good night.”
If there was someone banging on the door for help, why didn’t she wake up?
So an ambulance came, declared him dead and went on their merry way? Wtf😤
Right… I wondered that too
Yeah! stumped me too, I was just thinking that’s how they do it in other countries but wasn’t sure!
And cases like these are the reason I don’t go anywhere like that! If I don’t know the area especially in a different you will not catch me there!!!
It definitely makes you feel more cautious when going to new places :/
Thank for all your hard work truly! 🎉 And u are working and going to school u are so busy it's great and a blessing that we get to watch new videos each thank you so much
No cameras in this resort… you’d think they’d have cameras in the hallways.
You’d hope so :/
Hey Rachel Great Video Your True Crime Videos are great and what I love about them is because you get to tell people about what happened to these People so that’s what I like about these True crime Cases
This hotel is full of American tourists every weekend. Someone would’ve heard a fight going on. It was either an accidental fall or the wife push him over. Her behavior after the death was extremely questionable.
Love it how everyone agrees this is horrible but cannot see why people with common sense wanted a wall to keep these people out……….
Oh my goodness, this is so shocking It’s a lesson not to go to corrupt countries. Stay in places that you know. My son went to Thailand and had a similar experience - he had hired a scooter and was pulled over and accused of having illegal substances (which he didnt). He gave them all the money he had on him to get away from them. It can be a sad, bad world. Mexico is off my list of places to go. Just saying 🇬🇧
can't get over the irony of someone from britain saying ANYTHING about "corrupt countries"
I hadn't heard this heartbreaking story before, it's so incredibly sad. Thank you, I love your channel. Actually, I love crime channels & recently found yours. I appreciate what you do.
The fact that the couple were lawyers may have ended up spooking the original outlaw cops who did not want to be reported. They may have resorted to murder to keep the story quiet?
Justice for Elliot blair.
How can he fall out of the balcony. An the police claim he had a bullet wound to his head 😱
Oh heck yes! I’m on my last job of the day and was wondering what to listen to. Now I know 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 a new Rachel case video!!!
Good timing! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting your personal experience into this story 💗
Of course!! Sometimes it makes me feel just that much closer to the case and helps others understand what it can really be like
My parents are both from Mexico and growing up and taking vacations and going through the Mexico border my dad was always prepared with cash to give them because it happened every time we traveled there. So yes it’s very common, they call it a “mordida” meaning (a bite). Unfortunately we were used to their extortion habits. 😞 Such a sad story and thank you for covering.
Yeah I made sure to bring cash as well. Luckily I didn’t get pulled over
I went to college in Orange County and backed close with lots of people that grew up in Southern California and vacation and day trip in Mexico. Police are so corrupt. I’ve had friends be walked to atm and drained bank accounts
There was no stop sign fine , they got mugged by Mexicn police
My sons paternal grandparents visit family in Mexico often. They always leave their nice jewelry at home to avoid drawing attention to themselves
That seems like the right idea for sure
Going into Rocky Point I was told 300.00 cash or they would take my car. In Juarez I was taken to an atm to withdraw cash but with Bancomer it was a 100.00 limit so the cop took that and a bottle I had bought at Ueta for the people we were visiting. It felt so bad. One time at a checkpoint coming back to Juarez from Janos the MP there stopped us and got us out and made scary jokes about keeping me. Ay yai yai.
That’s horrible 😳 so scary
I think them telling the cops that they were attorneys was the wrong move. They knew to expect more cash and came back to get it
Yeah I’ve seen others comment this and I totally see it. I can see how cops would feel more entitled to their money if they thought them telling them they were lawyers was a threat or something
It is hard to imagine how and why a person or persons could have accosted him and beaten him in his room at least without his wife, and even other guests, not noticing. And even then, why place his body outside, where witnesses could easily see?
Perhaps someone was already waiting in their room hiding somehow. But still, how could he beat/kill/remove/toss his body off the balcony without the wife waking up?
I think accident may be a real possibility. Could someone at the hotel have put some drug in his drink, that didn't kick in until he got back to his room, like LSD, and he jumped off or fell off the balcony??
her sleeping through the night without noticing some struggle that appears to have been very disruptive and violent is really suspicious to me,
The police extortion Jamaica is unreal as well. Every time I visit with them visit often I’ve had to give cops money for no apparent reason.
It’s so sketchy that police in these countries ask for exorbitant amounts of money from American tourists. That’s not how law enforcement should be working. It absolutely is extortion. If you personally can stand your ground, especially if you know Spanish, tell them how it is and that you will contact the US Embassy to resolve the problem. But above all if you are fearing for your safety, remember money is just money and LIFE is SO much more important than any amount of money!
Yes i agree! It’s sad because part of me thinks standing up to them is too risky. But at the same time, how else can they be stopped unless everyone works together to stop it? Such a tricky situation.
