Missing at the Moon Palace:Day 13, Police Say Resort Press Release “Pure Speculation”
Filed under: Cancun Casa Blog, Cancun Tourism, Missing: Julia Howard
Posted by: Dangers @ 9:00 am

 In a follow-up story today on the Julia Howard disappearance, a local newspaper in Cancun, Mexico, Por Esto, is reporting that the press release issued by Palace Resorts late Friday night claiming that Julia Howard has been seen by multiple residents in the Yucatan mainland city of Valladolid is “pure speculation” according to police authorities in Cancun and Quintana Roo. Por Esto, yesterday, also reported that a check with police officials in Valladolid indicated that no eyewitness reports have been reported to the Valladolid authorities regarding Julia Howard being seen there by local citizens.

 Julia Howard has been missing from the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico since Tuesday, June 16, 2009 after arriving the evening before with family members on vacation. Ms. Howard was visiting the resort for the fifth time and had a strong familiarity with the layout of the resort and grounds.

 As of this date, the police in Cancun and Quintana Roo have indicated that despite a massive search of the sprawling  Moon Palace Resort grounds to date, no evidence to the location of Julia Howard has been discovered.

 Authorities in Quintana Roo have utilized upwards of 100 members of an array of available police resources for the search including search dog teams, mounted police on horseback, marine police and investigative teams for multiple days. The search continues on the ground by authorities and Moon Palace representatives are cooperating. Search Teams have been hampered in their efforts this weekend by some severe weather patterns that have moved through the area.
