And in another matter of national security, it's been a while since we've had any meaningful updates on the investigation into the murder of Belizean Lawman Danny Conorquie. As viewers remember, he was killed in September of Last year as he was on duty while trying to protect the tourists who visit the Caracol Archaeological Site in remote western Belize, very near to the Belize- Guatemala border. His killers are suspected - but not confirmed - to be of Guatemalan Nationality.
We got an opportunity last week to speak with Assistant Police Commissioner Aaron Guzman, and we asked him if his Guatemalan counter parts, who are really the ones handling the investigation, are taking the case seriously. Here's what he had to say about that, and the latest developments:
ACP Aaron Guzman, Western Regional Commander
"That investigation is being done by a specific group. The recent meeting that they had, because we have help from our counterparts in neighboring Guatemala, they were looking for a specific person to interview for us and give us a feedback. We haven't had it. so far we expect that within the next 3-4 weeks when they meet, we shall get some information if they did get that person and interview that person for us."
Daniel Ortiz
"As commander who have contact with them get the sense or the feeling that they have the same urgency for this case as we do?"
ACP Aaron Guzman, Western Regional Commander
"It is the opinion of the investigative team that the Guatemalan counterparts are being real supportive and they understand the importance of solving the issue in the Chiquibul area where that murder is concern."
