Bodies found near Rosarito
Just heard on the radio this morning that they found 4 bodies in "a remote canyon south of Rosarito". Apparently all four were american citizens. No
other info at this time.

Note says one of the victims was found executed at Colonia Mina wich is in Primo Tapia inside a recent model vehicle.
Four other executed persons, 3 afroamericans and one white woman aparently foreigers, these were found wish shots to the head on the infamous Blvd
2000.
As a side note (of mine) Blvd 2000 is the worst for safety, most dead are found there.

I wonder it the banditos have moved from the toll road to Blvd 2000, and this was a robbery gone bad.....The victims were in a recent model Cadillac
with CA plates. So much for that being a “safer” route to take. 
Any bets on when will the U.S. News pick it up, if ever?

I don't know. Everyone talks about the Blvd 2000 being a fast and easy route in either direction. Could it be the bad guys know this also and its a
quick and easy way to dispose of their foul doings from elsewhere?
I sure wouldn't drive it at night alone to find out if my thinking is correct.

WOW !!!!! Gauntlet sprawl.
Odd that a valuable vehicle like that wasnt taken. Hmmmmm.....................
If this hits the US press before Mem Day weekend, it'll change some plans.
And if the relative remoteness of BLvd 2000 makes it a likelier spot for this kind of stuff, what of the more remote Tecate to Ensenada stretch??
Maybe the perps are counting on disappearing into safe houses in the urban jungle.............

Why the surprise about Blvd 2000. Many of us have been cautioning o this board since that road opened last year that it was unsafe- especially at
night.

And it couldn't have been drug smuggling gone bad could it? After all they were US citizens immune from that kind of thing

... and because it's been totally isolated for many years while the road was being completed on the beach end. Don't stop for anyone on that road that
doesn't drive a black and white federal police vehicle. And if you do drive it at night and see fires in the road ahead- turn around and go back...
they are waiting for you.
I'm still confused about the Narco raid at SDSU where they said the price of cocaine was now $28/gram down from $125/gram in the 80's. They have to
move four times the drugs to make the same money they did twenty years ago. Is there that much supply or is demand for cocaine down?

It's interesting to read the readers' comments posted in the two Mexican newspapers linked on this thread. These are Mexicans who are posting. The
largest part of them are lamenting what the crime is doing to tourism in Mexico, especially Rosarito and Tijuana. The next largest group of posters
are complaining about the ineffective Mexican government and police.
Interestingly, the comments of Americans in the SDUT are almost identical to what the Mexicans are posting. It seems the two peoples -- Mexicans and
Americans -- are both thinking and saying the same thing.

I cant imagine cocaine is that cheap but I imagine that the much lower price of meth vs. cocaine is probably putting downward pressure on cocaine
pricing.

Looks like they were gang-bangers driving a stolen car.
