Governor, Colorado Lawmakers Ask Feds To Help Widow
DENVER (AP) -- Colorado elected officials are asking the federal government to help a Colorado woman find closure nearly eight months after her husband was presumably gunned down on a lake along the Texas-Mexico border.
Tiffany Hartley told authorities she and her husband were using personal watercraft on Falcon Lake when they were approached Sept. 30 by Mexican pirates who shot and killed her husband, David. David Hartley's body has not been recovered. Tiffany Hartley has been unable to obtain a death certificate.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, and U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner sent a letter Friday to U.S. Attorney Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The letter asks for an update on the federal government's involvement in the case and efforts to recover Hartley's body.
