Widow of American slain by Mexican cartel seeks justice . May 13th, 2011 1:48 pm ET Jim Kouri <http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/jim-kouri> On Thursday, Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) held a press conference to bring attention to the investigation of the murder of David Hartley. Hartley was murdered on Lake Falcon which spans the border between Texas and Mexico. It is believed that Hartley was gunned down by members of Mexico's Los Zetas cartel who control the lake. Mrs. Hartley barely escaped from the assailants. Mr. and Mrs. Hartley had been jet-skiing on the lake, which is a major tourist destination, when the attack occurred. Nearly eight months after the murder, Mr. Hartley's body has yet to be recovered and the federal government has ended their participation in this case. Congressman Poe is calling on the Obama Administration to rejoin this investigation to find David Hartley's murderers and bring them to justice. "It has been nearly eight months since David Hartley was gunned down on Falcon Lake. His wife Tiffany is still left with no answers about the death of her husband. Mrs. Hartley is not alone. Last year 111 U.S. citizens were killed in Mexico, to this day none of those cases have been solved," said Rep. Poe. "In many of these cases the Federal Government has abandoned the investigations leaving it up to the Mexican government to solve, no questions asked. It is past time that the American government stays on top of the Mexican government for solving the murders of our own citizens," he said. Members of the law enforcement community were disappointed when President Barack Obama visited Texas this week and proceeded to poke fun at those Americans calling for tighter border security. "[Obama] made a campaign stop to a border state and didn't mention the murder of Americans by Mexican cartel members and other criminal aliens. Not once did he mention Mrs. Hartley's ordeal and suffering. This administration is nothing more than one big political campaign with all flash and Obama's standup comic routines," said former police commander and intelligence officer Mike Snopes. Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption also spoke at the press conference. Judicial Watch represents Mrs. Tiffany Hartley, widow of David, and survivor of the attack. Judicial Watch called on the Mexican Government and the Obama Administration to thoroughly investigate the September 30, 2010, murder of David Hartley on Falcon Lake, Texas. Judicial Watch has launched its own investigation of David Hartley's murder, and is moving to identify and obtain all government records pertaining to the September shooting, including Obama administration communications with their Mexican counterparts, as well as law enforcement officials, Mexican military authorities, and others. "Mrs. Hartley is owed a full and thorough investigation into the murder of her husband. Mrs. Hartley deserves accountability from both the Mexican authorities and the Obama Administration. So far, the pursuit of justice apparently has been suppressed for political reasons on both sides of the border. It's shameful and wrong. We demand the full commitment of available resources to solve this murder and bring those responsible to justice," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
