A Personal Note from Sherri "Update - No Improvement for Us"
 July 5, 2010
I deliberately refrained from posting anything new here for several weeks because I tried to remain optimistic and hopeful of being able to report good news to you eventually. But that has not come to pass. It has been over a month now since Mauricio and I were surrounded on Cozumel’s highway by unmarked vehicles, removed and hand cuffed by plain clothed thugs with guns and jailed on Federal charges somehow resurrected from dead archives put away long ago for “lack of evidence.”
Then just last week, as we were scheduled to appear at the Federal courthouse for one of the countless hearings on these bogus Federal charges, 12 STATE police showed up (along with a representative of Comer to identify us) to arrest us under the trespassing charges….where we will not be eligible for bail at all. This happened despite the existence of a protection order (amparo) we had in place where the Cozumel Criminal Judge (Rosaura Villanueva) was supposed to divulge in writing what the State charges against us were and to disclose if she was issuing a detention order for us. Even though she supposedly (by law) had just a couple of days to respond, she took over 3 weeks to answer and then delivered a statement dated 4 days earlier saying “at this time, there are no charges and no detention order.” (Of course charges and a detention order were created AFTER she wrote the Court ordered response….how convenient.) Now we struggle to not be jailed again under these additional false charges.
I had given Mr. Comer the benefit of the doubt earlier by saying that he probably wasn’t aware of what his agents were doing. But now, it is clear he is aware, approves of and continues to fund these efforts against us.
In addition, it can be said that Felix, Borge, Juan Carlos, Aurelio and Gustavo all know what is happening and have turned a blind eye to the gringa’s problems. These are all local and State politicians whose governments have directly benefited from my 12+ years of raising thousands of dollars in donations and recruiting hundreds of volunteers for their city run programs like Carnaval, the City Lifeguards and the Marine Turtle Program. It appears my paltry community service contributions are all meaningless in the face of a mega gazillionaire condo developer like Comer.
I wish I had better news to report but the fact is that we have been displaced from our Cozumel home and businesses for over a month now and we have no hope of returning since the minute we do, we will be arrested again under the trespassing charges that Comer and Villalobos refuse to dismiss
.
This sort of judicial EXTORTION is unacceptable for Cozumel investors, businesses and travelers.
It literally implies that a foreigner can have a simple “fender bender” and end up in jail being accused of attempted murder. Why or how? All it takes for this to happen is exactly what has happened to Mauricio and I: local police in collusion with a criminal judge and an unethical lawyer can all work together to EXTORT foreigners out of cash, property or whatever in exchange for NOT BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME. Bail is not available to those charged with attempted murder so the poor guy who just had a fender bender will sit in a Mexican prision (like they are trying to do to us) for up to a year just waiting for his case to go before the judge….or else he will PAY THE EXTORTION which then gets divided up amongst those in collusion.
Please don't say this doesn’t happen in Cozumel ~ because it’s happening to us! I will continue to write about what is happening to us until its conclusion so that the depth and breadth of what occurs in Cozumel and Quintana Roo is known and understood by potential investors, retirees and travelers. They have a right to know the truth about where they are visiting.
As for those still wanting to help us in any way they can ~ thank you so very much for your support and stay tuned.
Your help will be needed shortly.

I want to take a moment to thank you at COZUMELINSIDER for all of your help. This is the first time I have ever booked activities such as these online and was very nervous about how it all worked. You took the time to answer all of my questions and even followed upwith a phone call to make sure you had all the information you needed to book the perfect vacation fun for my family. Thanks so much for making this a great experience! I can hardly wait to get there and enjoy all of these wonderful things! S. Daggett ~ Woodland Park, CO

Sherri ~ WOW!!! We just returned from our cruise! What a wonderful time we had!! Your COZUMELINSIDER.com bookings for our Dolphin snorkel adventure and Sea Trek were the highlight of the cruise. They were easy and saved us about half the cost of booking through the cruise line. We simply hopped into a cab and spent the day at the Park (we could have spent a week there.) They were even able to work us into the Sea Trek early. All the people were friendly, helpful and overall just treated us great. While we were standing around waiting a short little man came up and ask if we wanted a snorkel tour. I instantly remembered what you had said and looked at his name tag. It was Mario! His tour was fantastic! If you see him ask him if he remembers Señor Ed and his family (he never caught that my name was Ted, but that’s okay!) I had a waterproof digital camera and he snapped lots of pictures of us. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to you, your website and staff!
I know you probably get lots of pictures but I had to send you three. Look at the smiles on my boy’s faces. That says it all! Thank you so much for all your help and advice. We can’t wait to return. Your website is the first place we will stop! I wish we could have met in person. We will next time! T. Mahler Family ~ Howe ,TX

My wife and I are so pleased to have discovered your site. We fell in love with Cozumel the first time we visited. Our plans are to retire in Cozumel, your site will help us to grow in our knowledge of the island and hopefully begin our journey of protecting the islands unique heritage.
Thank you for your hard work, Nathan & Marcy Havner ~ Cheyenne Wyoming USA

We will be leaving tommorrow for 2 week stay at Islamar villas and diving with Dive Paradise. All of this along with a car rental was booked through you guys. Not only did you have a professional attitude through all the e-mails in booking the original dates but at the last minute I extended my stay. You and your staff were especially kind through all of this. You got the car extended and went way out of your way to make sure everything was taken care of, not to mention letting me borrow your personal roller bag to go to the market. You extended everything with ease and you are a great asset to Cozumel and Mexico. This will be my 12 th trip and I will never work with anyone else from now on. Thank you Sherri. Jack J. Marshall ~ Enid Oklahoma, USA

Less than an hour ago, I booked a dolphin swim package through your website. You have already confirmed my order with exactly what we wanted! I was really in a panic because when I tried to book directly through the Dolphin website, they said there was nothing available. I had read great things about your company on the on one of the popular message boards. I have to agree they are true! Thanks so much for your prompt service! I know this experience will be a great memory for my kids! L. Walker ~ Crosby, TX
