Also, is anybody sure that it was at 4 am? Hard to believe he was driving that road at 4 am. Anyone know if he had come up from the south or from the north? If he had come from the south, he would have hit the military check point.


Nowhere is it stated that he was driving at 4am. He was robbed at 4am where he was camping. The "on the road" in the reports, was a description of where he was camped. But I can understand why that was confusing.

This post is confusing. The Spanish-language post on Facebook says it occurred at La Playa Muertito. This is the local name for a particular part of the coast just south of Punta Rosarito ("the Wall") near the abandoned white house. It's right where Ricardo's camp is and where he launches his panga. There has been a cross placed into the ground here for years. Perhaps David K. knows the story because I have forgotten the exact details. But it has to do with some locals finding a dead baby/child at this location many years ago. Hence the name, "Muertito."

I recently heard from a friend who spends a lot of time down there that the robbery happened a few miles south of Muertito near where the dirt road from the highway first meets the coast.

I first read the of El Muertito in the Lower California Guidebook, 11 miles south of Santa Rosalillita:
"A solitary grave on the right side of the road. Seasonally occupied fish camp".

See it just south of Punta Rosarito on this 1962 Lower California Guidebook map. 'Fish Camp' is Santa Rosalillita:
