A Mendocino County Woman and Male Companion Arrested with Multiple Firearms in Mexico— Pair Suspected in the Disappearance of Another American
Mexican police pulled over 25-year-old Mendocino County woman, Natalia Baigorri, and 32-year-old Arizona man, Devan Young, as they were driving on a highway near Tulum this last Saturday, February 26.
The traffic stop would result in the pair being taken into custody after police located two 9mm Glocks, a .22 caliber rifle, multiple rounds of ammunition, and the passport of an American.
Reporting in The Yucutan Times and The Daily Mail provided information on this couple, the arrest, and the ongoing investigation.
A Mexican television network Noticieros Televisa reported the couple is thought to be linked to “a string of criminal incidents in the country and also connected to the disappearance of an American individual.”
Along with the firearms and ammunition, Mexican police located what was described as “a sensor that detects if security cameras are functioning” and an American passport of a 28-year-old man. It is unknown whether or not the passport belongs to the missing American Baigorri and Young are linked to.
Baigorri is from the coastal town of Mendocino. Young is from Arizona and the identification card he provided indicated he is a tribal member of the Erie Indian Moundbuilders in Arizona.
Baigorri and Young have yet to be formally charged, according to reporting in the Daily Mail, and a spokesperson for Mexico’s Office of the Attorney General’s regional station in Cancún “could not say when they are expected to appear in court.”
*per the request of the person who owned the passport, we have removed the image of it and his name.

Guns are illegal in Mexico. Please keep both of them for a long, long time.
not true. highly regulated, yes, illegal, no.
Entering Mexico with a firearm, or even a single round of ammunition, carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, even if the firearm or ammunition is taken into the country unintentionally. (I live 35 minutes from the border.)
Wow RHBB reaches far and wide. Going international soon Kym..
Yeah. And we all want that success for Kym/RHBB!
I see that MissBonzai didn’t say ‘which border’ though. Ha. Mexico? Canada? California and Oregon??? 😉
entering the country with fire arm and no paperwork is illegal. you can, with enough stamina and money, file paperwork and pay to bring a rifle into Mexico to hunt.
That being said what about the fast and furious group that gave guns to Mexicans a few years past?
Since it was Obama nothing happened in this travesty of justice…
Yeah well tell that to the cartels 😂
That’s why they import their guns from us.
Eric Holder and Barack Obama had that “Fast and Furious” gun running operation a few years back. Remember that?
I believe that was a poorly administered program to try to track guns though.
Atf fell foul on that one using a mentaly handicap individual in Milwaukee. Crazy story
It resulted in the death of a US Agent…
Huh. Obama, and Holder invented the ATF? The DEA? I thought they existed prior the Obama administration. Maybe Obama and Holder pulled all the agents off their previous nice assignments, and put them on gun running to Mexico. Maybe before Obama, no federal agents ever had dumb ideas, or ever considered getting co-opted by drug money. I mean Prison camp freedom fighter Joe Arpaio never engaged in South-of-the-Border shenanigans…
Notice the evidence is bagged to preserve prints etc? Maybe they plan to solve the crime down in a 3rd world country. As opposed to. Writing a short promise to appear. ? Or maybe a ticket?? If its serious a book and release?
I live in Mexico. It’s not a third world country if that is what you were implying. Not really cool Joe.
No…it’s a 3rd world country. Apparently you don’t have the internet or cable
Do you live there? No? Sit down.
I have had a home in Mexico for about 20 years. It is DEFINITELY a third world country. They would like to be called “ a developing Nation”
but…………
That camo pattern with a puka shell necklace is
Faboles.
Weird how guns are super regulated yet communitarios manage to have a few. I feel like the overlap between
Narcos/policia/federales/communitario
Is a Venn diagram of corruption in Mex.
Definitely these fresas will have to pay some pesos.
Mexico has exactly 1, highly regulated, gun store, in Mexico City. It’s run by the military.
addios mendocino. wtf were you thinking? I can understand the dude being a dumb dude but hey girl, what brought you from Mendocino County to the absolute bowels of deep, deep Mexico. You were on ragged streets that I know your parents wouldn’t want you to be roaming. You were with the guy, Mr. Dumb Dumb. How could you have fallen for such a loser. Oh well, back to you: You are in such serious trouble and mom can’t help and most lawyers wouldn’t be caught in such a seriously scabbed place as such. We the people of this website would like to hear your story. [edit]
Money solves many problems in Mex
I’ve spent a lot of time in Baja. More time, in fact, than most of my Mexican friends have spent anywhere in Mexico. My dad always told me $20 will get you out of most bogus traffic stops. This, even if it’s bogus, is going to take A LOT of money.
Right. But Baja isn’t Quintana Roo, now is it?
When I got searched in Mexico, I pissed my pants, literally. Made me miss the good ole USA for sure. Them Police don’t play around, are a lot of snitching going on. Dealer sells you a bag, tells the police, you are holding, Dealer gets his bag back, you get ruined.
Our Lady appeared in Mexico because the peoples had super strong faith. Always felt respect for the Mexican people because of the faith the have. I mean they probably as a race can out pray anyone at Church. Beautiful Culture and the Image of the Virgin Mary that people held so dear, Defies Science as in Optometry, NASA, Astronomers, Exc , but different story.
Truly hope they don’t get to wounded going through Mexico’s system of justice. Hope they can return home some day, and realize how lucky they are , living in the USA. Not saying its all great, but the Greatest to wave that flag…
I’ve had the nicest experience in Mexico. The Rosarita Chief of Police carried my bags to my bungalow because I was using 2 canes to walk. We sat on the beach and talked border security. I left an expensive camera in a dressing room and the clerk tracked me down to return it and refused a reward. A crew of young boys washed and waxed my truck for $5 then guarded it until my return…I got a flat tire and locals stopped to assist me. The list goes on.
I’ve mostly had good experiences. Never any run in with the law. Worst time was eating some bad fish from a street cart. Yeah, I know. And I did know better then too. My fault really. Got Montezuma’s pretty good. A glass of water went through me before I could finish the cup. Another time, a buddy and I and our gals went to TJ one night. A couple of young guys started hassling us so we ducked into a club. They followed but kept a distance. When we left, the bouncer stopped the guys and let us get away. That was a big city at night, so, you know, shit happens, but it’s rare. The people as a whole, just like anywhere, are warm and kindhearted. Actually, more so than on this side of the border. I’ve the best times with many a stranger. But there are a few mal manzanas.
And to reply to tainted’s comment, I don’t know about drug dealers down there, but, again to quote my Dad, “cops and taxi drivers both have radios. Be cool around both.”
Oh yeah, and when you paddle out, there’s almost no lineup. Give the kid on the beach a few bucks and you’ve got your own personal security. It’s basically pocket fuzz for you, but it makes his day. If his Dad stops by your camp in the eve, kick down a beer. Sometimes the kid has a dog you can play with too.
Spot on…
Actually where they were at was not the bowels of Mexico It’s a very Ritzy high class area with lots of resorts and very nice hotels. Maybe you’ve never been to Mexico especially lately the last 15 years it’s very nice. Downtown LA is way worse. You never see people down there sleeping in tents on the street. Yes there’s still an underground where you can get all kinds of stuff and their parents will be able to get them out of this just find the right palms to grease.
Maybe you should comment on anything that you don’t personally know about
delusional & hilarious
Saw how some Villages chases out the cartels, however same document showed people hung from villages. I guess some places are getting better, however some places, not safe for sure. when I traveled there, I never felt safe.
when traveling down there now, you should expect not only la policia to stop you for a shakedown but roadblocks run by locals who will stop you w a rope across the road for a toll and also to know who you are and where youre going.. best to stop and pay it.. theyre happy to have americans there.. except maybe these two. all the good honest hard working mexican people are just trying to combat the crime, cartels and corrupt police themselves.
I’ve ran into a few “rope blocks” on the side roads but it was always an interesting but friendly experience. People are people everywhere…
I travel there four times a year. I have a 78 bug parked in PV. Not Cancun (god forbid) but PV and Zehuat and Cabo frequently. Never a concern for my safety. Don’t fu($ around in foreign countries without knowledge of their nuances. Mexico can be a great place or a living hell. Buena viaje
Nah. I’ve got a friend who did 22 mos in a. Mexican jail when he was boarded off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. They found the parts of a disassembled 9 mm and 100 rounds. He forgot they were there. Maybe? Either way. Boat sold and he was detained and charged and did 22 mos. nothing anyone could do to get him released. The money his parents thought would free him was balked at by the system down there.
Know LA is the bowels, and as some famous YouTuber stated, if you don’t believe in Satan, go take a walk on the streets of LA. That dude was or got so converted after a late night stroll, he quote was something like, ” Satan is real.” But seeing most are pampered, mad at God, and go for Woke. One can’t be hip, and believe, because its way too uncool. Not I, for I believe and although I live in the valley of death, I often pray, let me please not fear the evil…
Tulum is actuallly a beautiful Carribbean resort town which you’ve obviously never visited. It’s not the bowels of anywhere. People pay lots of money to vacation there. But hey , don’t let that get in way of your racist dithering.
It’s a pit stop on the read to better places. Beautiful if you like the exploitation of natural resources and psudo hippy types w dread locks and trust funds. It’s a sunset magazine destination gone bad.
Tulum isn’t the deep bowels, it’s the carribean resort town. Guns are tools of the trade
Tulum is a shit hole of American dreamers and cartels. Not worth your .02
I wouldn’t call Tulum ragged streets….it’s tourist paradise
Ha ha ha. You would know paradise if it swept u up.
You are correct….I would know paradise if it swept me up….and it has….but I don’t fear cartels or police in Tulum….I interact with them with a smile and a chuckle….but I know my boundaries and don’t break their rules ….I know how to not fuck of their system and so the money I spend there goes to who it’s supposed to….and I love it there!! Fuckin paradise….
Have you ever been to Tulum?
yeah. Didn’t think so. There’s nothing bowel like or ragged about the Costa Maya.
I went there in the late 80s and there wasn’t anything except the pyramid by the ocean it was just gorgeous I’m so sad that it was built up in that people are so violent just a beautiful beautiful place and the people that I met were really really nice too bad for them that all this is going on
X2
Hoo-hoo
This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin’ better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose…
Ruh-roh raggy !
More weed-era loosers playing globalist
Ha! I just knew the comment blaming the dope growers would be here, even in a story that took place in another country. Thanks for making my night. 🙂
They sure as hell ain’t in Kansas anymore.
kinda looks like theyre blindfolded and ready for the firing squad.. might be better than mexican prison.
Those are super hero / villain masks so there aren’t recognized.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Oh, how appropriate!!
haha.. excellent
I’d probably take red beards sentence over whatever they’re going to get any day, Mexican jail is no bueno!
They will be PCed
There’s definitely some fashion crimes being committed here. Plus, they’re wearing their covid face diaper wrong.
Unless things have changed you can sit in a Mexican jail a long time before going to trial…And US consulate can not get you out, though will help with certain things. They better have cartel connections…
Money talks in Mexico if you have money and you go to jail you just pay the head prisoner and you can get anything that you want. And then you find a lawyer that is connected and you can get it out.
Just like in the United States
There is still that tiny matter of the missing person.
Yeah and masks stop covid.
man, mickey dolenz and calista flockhart sure took a bad turn somewhere along the line….
Ooo they’re being held in mexico…
a good friend of mine, a native american, was arrested in TJ for getting so drunk he tried to jump on a Tijuana zebra (a donkey painted with zebra stripes) and ride off.
he was held for 2 weeks. alonzo was the very picture of happy-go-lucky before he went in. he was never the same.
that was 25 years ago. these young folks are in for a huge reality check.
Just like my numerous friends selling LSD for dirtbags on the GD lot. Never the same…All for 5 dollar felonies.
Hey Now- by the time the wrecking crew was seen as “elders of the scene” and set examples for the new heads you know that lot was a cesspool. Can’t trust a single head from the 90’s lot scene as the message was seriously twisted and corrupted. Still somehow a few good people came through- not many. That whole GDF gangster vibe was sad and lost
Jerry was my only elder, and the Sisters usually set the examples. I always thought the “Wrecking Crew was always part of the problem,” however I heard they would beat up sexual perps from time to time, or chase off a ” bunkster.” Glad those days are gone for me, always got chastised for trying to make money and risk my future, always got “schooled” if I drank a beer or got wasted on the lot, and always got “corrected” if I got out of line by the true Family. They really guided me, to be a shining light. Thanks Family, You really encouraged me to spread peace, love, and happiness. Know I will try and pick up that ole candle, relight it, instead of cursing the darkness, much love, RIP Jerry, and my mom, my only true love…
Roger that.
Sounds like you have quality friends. I love humboldt.
Sad but I gave up on friends, know just learning how to love myself and be happy in my own skin. Actually made leaps and bounds, so hopefully some day I can have new peeps, but for know just blessed to process this thing called life and learning to respect it. Know my battle is getting off this social media stuff, and pick up more books. Funny how the internet can suck the life out of you, just like drugs and booze.
But I did have the best mentors on the Dead Lot, and it was pretty cool being guided by the family instead of the lot lizards.
Nice Kids ! Deserve a 2nd chance….
I guess that Bonnie and Clyde gameplan didn’t work out so well
Their identification, sans photo, will soon be used by “undocumented” workers here in the US. Thanks, Mexican media.
Oh yeah, the “Mexican media” is sooo bad…
You might want to check your Facts before posting provocative nonsense like you just did.
Try doing a search for CA drivers license and Passport, and see what comes up.
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=CAdriverslicense&iax=images&ia=images
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us+passport&t=ffsb&iax=images&ia=images
If you give a sh*t, beyond just trolling, then you’ll stop eating any produce or meat, in addition to not expecting any entry level type job to have an employee.
The “undocumented” workers are the ones doing the jobs that nobody else will do.
Get off your high horse.
Yeah, because a screenshot of a driver’s license will get you across the border? WTF?
Good luck in Mexican prison. They dont give a shit about your civil rights down there. In fact you have to find a way to feed yourself down there they dont feed you much.
Well all I know is that the embassy will make sure that they are not abused in any way that is all the embassy can do for them . Prison s depend on which state you are in and Quintana Roo has not a good one Yucatan has a good one. They will not have a good time and if they are mixed up with the cartel the cartel will not recognize them and now days not so much corruption in the police to get out of something like this with money. Not very smart traveling with guns or drugs in Mexico
I travel w bud every time. It’s the guns you need to be wary of.
I thought drugs were legal in Mexico in small quantities for personal use. Including marijuana, heroin, cocaine & lsd. Do you know if this is correct? Thank you.
decriminalized
And then their book comes out…fifteen years later on release,”How not to vacation in Mexico!”
We’re not sending them our best.
That “tribe” is a registered LLC known for ‘Indian Gaming Consultation’
“Young is from Arizona and the identification card he provided indicated he is a tribal member of the Erie Indian Moundbuilders in Arizona.”
🤔🤣😉
Yeah, they are a thing. Not a federally recognized tribe, but they are incorporated. 😛 I haven’t really read too much about them, but the original Erie ceased to exist as a people over 350 years ago, wiped out by the smallpox and the bellicose Iroqouis Confederacy. The few survivors were absorbed by the Seneca.
I guess the “Erie Indian Moundbuilders” must have an office in Arizona. I seem to remember they were trying to get a casino going somewhere.
The dark tone to his pants and the brown spot on the ground…💩
That’s weird. I posted information I found on a Google internet search and it didn’t get approved. The woman’s last name is the same name as a wine region in Spain. Not sure why that wasn’t allowed?
I also googled the name on the passport. Lian Zietz. An Instagram account came up with that name. I sent that Lian a message on Instagram asking if he was aware of the news out about his passport. It’s funny my posts sometimes aren’t allowed here. These are basic things people do that are investigating reporters. I thought this was a news source. I have a background in journalism…….
I researched his name too, smart guy that cares about helping others. Seems like good people…
Hey Kym. What wrong with investigation journalism???
Lol not investigation…
Investigative journalism is a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic of interest, such as serious crimes, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. An investigative journalist may spend months or years researching and preparing a report.
This isn’t an investigation, this is just a report that the police in Mexico are investigating this situation. We’re definitely not investigating.
My guess is they’re Eastern European: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc. Buena Suerte, amigos.
She’s going to regret not wearing appropriate footwear.
I Guess they never watched locked up abroad!
Black socks with Birkenstock’s should be an international criminal offense
