US Woman’s Body Sent To The States for Second Post-Mortem
posted (October 25, 2018)

Another recent case that is also causing some difficulty for police is that of 49 year-old Claire Elizabeth Rigdon-Wallace. Two weeks ago, the body of this American national was found floating in a pool in the Consejo area of Corozal. 

Her husband, Robley Rigdon, told cops that they had been drinking, and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found her nude in the pool, where it appears that she had drowned. 

Police aren't so sure after seeing trauma wounds on the body, and so they called in the FBI to assist in the investigation. Today, police told us that her body has been flown back to the US, where a second post-mortem will be conducted to confirm her cause of death:

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"That is still an ongoing investigation, and we have requested for, and had the assistance of the FBI in relation to this matter. The body was flown out of the country for a second post mortem, which will be conducted in the US later this week."
