FALCON LAKE – The search for David Hartley may end or be scaled tonight. Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. says Mexican divers have stopped searching for David Hartley’s body. The sheriff says he hasn’t been able to get a hold of one of the Mexican investigators on the case for the last 48 hours.

Sheriff Gonzalez says the beheading of a Mexican homicide investigator working on the case had an effect on the search. Commandante Rolando Flores Vilelegas’ head was stuffed in a suitcase and left at the army garrison in Miguel Aleman.

Sheriff Gonzalez believes Mexican officials decided they won’t find Hartley’s body. David Hartley’s wife and his family members have been asking Mexican investigators not to stop the search for his body.
