"Denny Boan, a manager at A Cut Above Beef and Seafood... said Pennington lived with a friend in Redlands or at a local motel."
"Taylor [the mother of the victim] said she talked to her son March 23 and he mentioned that some of his friends had asked him to go to Tijuana the
weekend before, but he had to work...."
"Taylor believes her son was with somebody else because she said he never went anywhere by himself... 'I can say that strongly because I know that's
how he was,' Taylor said."

A mothers intuition. How sad that she has to endure this...regardless of circumstances.

It has at least as much clarity as the story about the guys arrested in Algondones for taking photos!

He "was stabbed eight times, in the head, neck, chest and back". That means he tried really really hard to make it look like a Mexican did it-
instead of being a suicide?
Why didn't the ICE have exact records of him crossing back into the USA the first time? Why would fixed cameras be more reliable than a customs agent?
(Not that I believe you can cross over and back on a sunday afternoon at San Ysidro in that short a time period).

It's OK, Whoooooosh. I was just having fun with events of my past. Don't take it as serious input. In the future, we'll have at each other but,
not here. Not at the expense of this tragedy.

No worries. We're both pretty used to facts being reversed down here. Sadly- nothing surprises me anymore. Not even if Mexico were to say this
victim committed suicide and was illegally importing and dumping mad cow disease tainted meats to Mexico.
There will be no public answers until spring break season is over. Any news about this event is bad news for Mexico tourism- so there won't be any.
I do hope the mother who came to TJ to claim her son persists and demands answers. With their 150 new cameras in TJ- they should be able to track
that truck and the kid all the way to Playas.
Of course if there was any evidence another American was possibly the killer- it would have been fully disclosed and announced by now.

From today's Union Tribune:
Baja authorities amend man's toxicology report
TIJUANA: Baja California authorities yesterday rectified an earlier report about what drugs were in the system of a 19-year-old North Carolina man who
was found stabbed to death last month.
Salvador Ortiz, the state's lead prosecutor in Tijuana, told reporters yesterday that Shane Pennington had marijuana and alcohol in his system, but no
cocaine. Ortiz had stated Monday that toxicological reports indicated cocaine as well as marijuana and alcohol.
At the time of his death, Pennington had been working in Anaheim in sales and delivery for A Cut Above Beef & Seafood. He did not show up for work
March 23, and his body was found in Playas de Tijuana the next morning.
Baja California authorities said yesterday they are working closely with U.S. law enforcement agencies as they search for Pennington's killer. They
said they are still searching for the missing vehicle, a 2004 Ford Ranger with an attached freezer bed with the company logo. It contained 109 boxes
of meat worth close to $3,000, according to the victim's employer. The vehicle has California plates, 8E28590.

WOW we need to watch out for this truck and it does look low key. Who do I call if I see it?
(maybe its time for a missing fleet vehicles forum)

Suppose the steaks were sold in the states. someone wigged out and it was the body not the steaks that crossed in the freezer.
If its not where it is, its where it isn\'t.

I'm surprised they adjusted the toxicology report- based on an earlier post onthis thread it would seem testing for pot takes longer than the time
that has passed. Maybe the police want the USA toxicology reports to match theirs- so they are backing off the cocaine.
Mexicans know that if they mention "cocaine" or "heroin" in media reports, half the readers automatically figure the vistim is to blama to some
degree. Pot and alcohol would seem pretty normal for that age range during spring break- on either side of the border.
Still no truck or meat or a family explanation of why he was having "trouble" getting into the Army.

That this is the one bright spot in an otherwise tragic story.
At least from the Army's perspective.

People can make all the assumptions and snide remarks they want...and they don't help...but the bottom line is a Mother has lost a son, a sister and
two brothers have lost a brother....and only 19....that is a real tragedy,
not much said above helps or changes that......
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....
