The Mayan Riviera in Mexico has become a deadly battlefield for feuding drug gangs — and tourists are getting caught in the crossfire​

''It’s happy hour at the Sunset Bar, and Sarah and Charlie are on day ten of their visit to Tulum on Mexico’s so-called “Mayan Riviera”. The table is covered in empties and Charlie, 30, is singing along to Bésame Mucho. But things are not going well for the young London couple.

Trouble started after the bar closed one night at 9.30pm. “We’d been drinking until 3am most nights and then suddenly they were saying, ‘You have to go now, we’re shutting.’ They seemed very nervous,” says Sarah, 29. Apparently, a hotel employee had been “pistol-whipped” in the car park. “They thought it might lead to a gunfight so I said to Charlie, ‘Let’s go to the room, lock the door, lie low.’ ''


''The first such case Cuervo remembers in Tulum involved a young Israeli backpacker, Dana Rishpy, who vanished after a party on the beach in 2007.''

''A detailed journal documented her life and final days in the bag Dana left behind. Through its pages, vital details about the men she encountered came to light. Among them, Matthew Walshio’s profile emerged as particularly troubling.

The investigation revealed his criminal past, which included drug trafficking and rape accusations. Days after Dana’s disappearance, realizing he was being looked for, Walshio hurriedly flew back to the U.S.
The second suspect, Oscar Granelli, a Norwegian citizen, was seen on club security cameras sitting with Dana during the performance. According to testimony from an Israeli tourist present, Granelli was seen leaving the party with Dana at 1:30 a.m., with his arm around her shoulder, saying, “Come on, baby.”
Granelli, believed to be the last person to see Dana, now also lives in the U.S. Meanwhile, their friend, Gary Almedal, stayed in Mexico and settled in Tulum. ''

Thanks for keeping this case alive: somebody knows what happened to Dana.

However, I'm quite sure the guy identified as Walshin in the beach photos with Dana, are not Walshin. This link posted earlier on the thread has photos of him from the same time period -

He was much older than Dana, and, as she described in her diary, had long hair. She also wrote she was not interested in him in the way those photos indicate...
