Three women, believed to be in their early-to-mid thirties and bearing tattoos, have been found dead in separate locations in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, between May 10 and late May 2026. All were discovered partially undressed in isolated areas. Authorities are investigating whether the deaths are connected or if the bodies were transported there after being killed elsewhere. The investigation follows earlier cartel-related violence in Jalisco linked to the death of El Mencho, which previously disrupted tourism. Officials have not confirmed identities, though one source suggests a possible match. The U.S. State Department previously issued travel advisories due to regional instability. The case has raised concerns about safety for American tourists in the region.
