Hey everyone, here’s the latest on a story that’s been causing quite a buzz! Mexican authorities are now saying that the alarming allegations made by two Oklahoma State University students about being drugged at a Cancun resort might not be what they seem.
So, what exactly happened? Zara Hull and Kaylie Pitze were on a four-day vacation in Cancun when things took a scary turn. After having a few drinks, they claim to have lost consciousness, leading them to believe they were drugged. Disturbing photos shared by Hull’s family showed the aftermath, with the girls reportedly being rushed to a local hospital by Hull’s boyfriend, Jake Snider.
But the situation only seemed to get worse from there, as the family feared something more sinister was at play, including potential trafficking or organ harvesting.
But hold on—Mexican law enforcement has a different take on the situation. According to Raciel López Salazar, the head of the State Attorney General’s office, an investigation revealed that neither student had drugs in their system.
Instead, López Salazar suggested that what happened was more likely a case of excessive alcohol consumption, rather than any foul play involving drugs like fentanyl, which the authorities say is not an issue in that region.
Adding another twist to the story, the investigation found that the students weren’t even staying in Cancun, but rather at a hotel on Isla Mujeres, a nearby island. With no drugs found and no formal complaints filed by either family, local authorities are classifying this as a “drunken night gone wrong.”
Still, the families are sticking to their story, and the case has caught the attention of the State Secretary of Tourism, Bernardo Cueto. He described it as a “very rare case” that’s under investigation but pointed out that without a formal complaint, there’s little more that can be done at this point.
Meanwhile, the Caribbean Business Coordinating Council is urging local establishments to keep a closer eye on guests to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Despite the authorities’ findings, Zara Hull’s family took no chances. They managed to negotiate with the U.S. Embassy and got Hull flown back to Dallas for further medical treatment. She’s now back home in Oklahoma, recovering with the support of her loved ones.
As this story continues to unfold, it raises important questions about safety and accountability while traveling abroad. But for now, Mexican officials are firm in their stance—no drugs were involved, and the case has been blown out of proportion. Stay tuned as we see how this situation develops and whether the families will take further action.
