The recent allegations made by two college girls from Oklahoma State University, Zara Hull and Kaylie Pitze, claiming they were poisoned at a resort in Cancun have been refuted by local law enforcement in Mexico. The head of the State Attorney General’s office (FGE), Raciel López Salazar, stated that an investigation found no evidence of drugs in the girls’ systems, and the case has been classified as a simple case of alcohol consumption.
The girls, who were on a four-day trip to Cancun, alleged that they became unconscious after drinking tainted water at a poolside bar. Disturbing photos shared by Hull and her family showed the moment they passed out. Hull’s boyfriend, Jake Snider, rushed them to a local hospital, where the nightmare continued to unfold, according to Stephanie Snider, Jake’s mother.
Local authorities discovered that the girls were actually staying at an Isla Mujeres hotel, not in Cancun as reported. Their drug tests came back clean, leading authorities to classify the incident as a likely case of alcohol intoxication.
The allegations have caught the attention of the State Secretary of Tourism, Bernardo Cueto, who called it a “very rare case” and a “very strange situation.” However, no formal complaint has been filed by either family about the incident.
The Caribbean Business Coordinating Council of Quintana Roo has also become involved in the case, urging local establishments to monitor their customers to prevent overindulgence in alcoholic beverages. Hull was eventually flown to Dallas for further medical treatment, and both families have not responded to requests for comment.
Overall, the incident has sparked debate and concern over the safety and security of tourists in popular vacation destinations like Cancun.
