Mexico: Remains of missing U.S. tourist believed to have been found in Guerrero

CNN.com reported, Harry Devert left a job as a trader in finance to take a transcontinental motorcycle journey from the United States to Latin America.

Six months ago, he vanished after sending his girlfriend in New York an ominous text message from a troubled region in Mexico, about being escorted from “an area too dangerous for me to be.”

Mexican authorities, acting on tips, on Thursday located his green Kawasaki motorcycle in a shallow grave in the state of Guerrero, along with the badly decomposed remains of a man in two plastic bags, said Darren Del Sardo, an attorney for Devert’s mother.
