Glad to see that the video was shot at Fox, so this thread has not gone off topic.

Just wondering what all happened here? There's a sort of companion thread involving the two U.S. sailors and the prostitutes in TJ. What strikes me is that the sailors were closely monitored by Navy officials, even as they were transferred to prison in DF. So, I can't imagine that our two hotshots from Yuma have disappeared off the face of the earth. Anyone have an update. click

Here is something I found online with an interesting opinion on the case. Makes a lot of sense...

I don't think it's an either/ or situation. He's both. To leave his name and phone number? I think it's a case of cultural prejudice by a stupid perv.

Maybe they think the old guy is the Mexican equivalent of a material witness. (especially since no one thinks he's involved in any wrongdoing)

Also note that the blog is two weeks old. So, basically nothing has come forth on this for awhile.

The last time I started to take a picture of anyone in Mexico, it was the guy in the Aztec getup at the blowhole. Before I could snap it, he demanded a dollar. I said gracias and passed.



All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Release granted for winter visitor detained in Mexico
Comments 3 | Recommend 1
But Washington man says he's not leaving without his grandson
February 26, 2009 - 6:50 PM
BY GEOVANA RUANO FONSECA
An 88-year-old Yuma winter visitor has been approved for release from the Mexican prison where he has been held with his grandson, a Mexican judge said.

Whether Edward Chrisman was actually free could not be immediately confirmed Thursday by The Sun.

Chrisman, a winter visitor from Washington state, and his grandson, Gary Lee Chrisman Jr., a 40-year-old Yuman, were arrested in January by police in Los Algodones, Baja Calif., based on allegations that Gary Lee Chrisman Jr. had offered to pay two minors to pose for a nude photograph.

Judge Sandra Sofia Rubio of Court of First Instance in Ciudad Morelos, Baja Calif., who is presiding over the case, confirmed that an amparo had been secured for Edward Chrisman allowing his release from the Centro de Readaptacion Social prison in Mexicali. An amparo is a legal protection offered in the Mexican judicial system that grants defendants freedom from incarceration pending a court date.

She declined to comment further on the case, but Hector Guzman Hernandez, the Algodones municipal delegate, said the elder Chrisman does not plan to leave the prison without an amparo being issued for his grandson's release as well.

Family members either could not be reached for comment by The Sun or declined to comment. The attorney for the Chrismans also could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

Family members of the Chrismans previously have denied the allegations, saying Gary Chrisman Jr. had brought a camera to Mexico to take cultural pictures but that he never made any request to photograph two girls, ages 13 and 17, nude. He and his grandfather were arrested on allegations by one of the girls and by the mother of the other.

We are from Blythe and it knocked at least a hundred miles off, of the route thru Ajo and Sonoita. Beautiful views of the gulf and the eastern Baja coastline, from Mexicali to Puertecitos. I will post some photos as soon as I figure it out, maybe Biglar will see this and come up front and help me!


Thanks for this report and I am looking forward to the photos.
