Report: Texas teen girl slain in Mexico was a stripper who wanted to be 'coyote'

An 18-year-old Sugar Land, Texas, area high school senior who was found beaten to death in Mexico over the weekend worked as a stripper and wanted to be a "coyote," a smuggler of illegal immigrants into the United States, the Houston Chronicle reported, citing her mother's statements to police.

Elisabeth Mandala was a senior at Kempner High School in the Fort Bend school district, the Chronicle reported.

Her body was found Saturday along with those of two men on a highway just west of Mina, a town of about 6,000 people near Monterrey, the Chronicle reported.

Newspapers in Monterrey reported that their pickup was staged to look like it had been in an accident, but there was evidence that a rock had been jammed in the accelerator, the Chronicle reported.

“It's pretty apparent she was doing stuff down there she shouldn't have been,” an unnamed law enforcement source close to the investigation told the Chronicle.

Well, "Alan", you must be overwhelmed with joy that there's one less troubled 18-year-old girl in the world. I suppose you would have grabbed an axe handle and poured on some "justice" yourself if you'd had the opportunity. Good thing nobody ever said anything like, "Whoever is without sin cast the first stone".
