‘She’s Not Coming Back’: Woman Goes Missing While Vacationing In Mexico, Boyfriend Devastated



"PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A local woman vacationing in Mexico disappeared seven days ago.

Police there have searched for Caley Manning of Mount Washington, but have been unable to find her..."

"...“You want that person coming right through the door, smiling and saying, ‘Hey, I’m back,’ but I know for a fact, she’s not coming back,” said Patrick Smith, Manning’s boyfriend of two years.

Manning went on vacation with some girlfriends, staying at a resort on an island near Cancun. One night she stayed out to explore the town on her own, according to Smith.

“The next morning her roommate contacted me and asked if I had talked to her, and I said no,” said Smith..."

"Even before Manning was reported missing, he says witnesses reported seeing a woman go into the ocean by a sea wall.

“It’s not very good water to swim in. It’s all craggy. It’s all rocky,” said Smith. “My girlfriend, Caley, is from Florida, big swimmer, loves the water.”

I'm thinking staying out alone at night "to explore the town" is a bad idea in Cancun...

I can't wrap my mind around why people still want to vacation in these third world shitholes. Especially when we have so much to offer here. I have no sympathy.

But that's the touristy part of Mexico.  Surely they don't want to endanger their tourism!

She could've just drowned in a pool in FL.
Something not right, but could've happened anywhere. Personal responsibility.
If she got drunk and thought, "I'll go for a swim", bad decision.

Mexico is coming to a state near you eventually.

We must invade Mexico, destroy all the drug cartel and any other bad people living there then seal our border.

Tell the UN to fuck off when complaints start- they have done NOTHING to fix any situation ever.

If it was just her being drunk and going swimming at night in a dangerous area then you can't really blame it on Mexico.  Not that I would vacation in Mexico, which I would like to, I want to see those pyramids.

The only reason there are cartels full of bad people is because of the war on drugs. I learned this here in GD. If we just make drugs legal, the cartels in Mexico will magically turn good, and won't kidnap, rape, torture and kill people anymore. Drugs are good, see?  I'm still trying to wrap my head around it myself, but it must be so.

I could think of  HUNDREDS of other places to vacation besides Mexico.

Manning was staying on Isla Mujeres at Hotel Rocomar.

The island is not Cancun (shithole) or the Hotel Zone with all the high level tourist traffic.

It's relatively quiet with the only auto traffic being island police and taxis.  Tourist drive rental golf carts.

Minimal if any cartel activity.  I say minimal because I have not seen any unlike Cancun.

The town of El Centro has nice restaurants, shops and cantinas and its all foot traffic.

Hotel Rocomar is on the Atlantic side near the north end of the island.

I've walked those same island streets at night with little or no worries.

This sounds like a terrible mishap based on really bad judgement if she went night swimming.

All the restaurants and cantinas on Isla Mujeres use filtered water.
Never had a problem there unlike downtown Cancun.

Y'all are a bunch of Nancy's.   I go to Cancun several times a month and have never felt any more in danger than I would walking around any city in CONUS.

I'm as gringo as it gets and the only issues I have is getting the guys pushing the clubs and strip clubs to stop following me.  I guess I have that "tourist in need of hooker" look.

So yeah...I'm that GD guy...

I had a short discussion on that a few weeks ago with someone I don't talk to often... Someone else was taking a vacation to Mexico, and several people commented on how dangerous it is down there. She seemed to think that it wasn't as dangerous as people think, so I pointed out it can't be much worse than Chicago

Bicyclists I thought. Or I guess that was Mexico proper.

Found a story of someone doing a motorcycle trip back in 2014 that was found dead. Also in Mexico.

Found another one from 2011 in Peru, but he was hit by a bus on a curvy road.

It happens so often, it's hard to find the right stories!

I just shake my head every time one of my wife's friends talks about vacationing in Mexico.

A guy I worked with a few years ago talked about retiring in Mexico.  I told him he was crazy as hell.  He said, "Oh no.  It's a gated retirement community.  Armed guards and gates/fences, patrolled 24/7, etc., etc., etc.  He retired and he and his wife moved to Mexico.  Two years later they are back.  Too many breaking/enterings, too much lost/damaged stuff from the house.  The armed guards were never around.  No one every got caught (imagine that - either bought off or scared off or both).

Not telling anyone what to do or where to go. Just curious, wondering how many of the posters who label Mexico a shithole have ever been there. Sure there are areas that are just like any town in America. Some good. Some bad. Have been going to Rivera Maya or Cozumel for about 20 years. Just like anywhere else, common sense is your friend.
