Lopez escaped but Pitts's body was found yesterday in Northern Ambergris Caye. His decomposed body was brought to the city today for burial. We spoke to his wife who shared with us her shock at his untimely death.

"He is a hardworking father of 7 kids."

"Was he the source of anybody targeting him? Was anyone threatening him before hand?"
Angela Pitts, wife of Rudolph Pitts
"I've never heard of anybody targeting him, never. I was with him on Saturday, Sunday and up to Monday when he left for work and he works up the coast and he stayed there and on weekends he come down and up to when he left his house on Monday he was a happy guy and he didn't seems to have any problem. He came to Belize City last Saturday to visit his kids to give them some money and this week he came and we were talking about the September celebrations and everything. When he left home Monday he was a happy guy. He didn't seem disturbed or anything, because whenever he has problems I would be the first person he would speak to good or bad or whatever. The police were great. They did a very good job helping me in every way."
Sahar Vasquez, reporter
"Have they found any leads yet or are they still looking?"
Angela Pitts, wife of Rudolph Pitts
"They picked up somebody already. I can't say anything more about it."
The incident occurred near a resort about ten miles away from San Pedro town. Pitts and Lopez worked together in construction. The Police have not officially released any names of possible suspects as yet.
