The second day we were in Cabo, George said when he woke up that he'd had a bad dream, he dreamt that there were guns and somebody was killed, and he just couldn't shake this bad feeling. He said, I just need to leave. In retrospect, I think George had this dream. It was a premonition. We should have all left. When the hotel gave away our rooms, that was a sign.
And we had two signs, and we ignored them both. And now look what happened. When they put Tyler in the ditch, I was physically ill. One of the gunmen placed me in the same ditch about eight feet from him. and he kind of shoved me down into the dirt, and I crawled over to where Tyler was, and the guy yelled something at me, and I'm like, told me to stop. I'm like, you know what? No.

You're throwing us in a ditch. If he's going to kill us in a ditch, I'm not going to be eight feet from my baby. He threw a sleeping bag over Tyler and I, and I thought... They're going to shoot us. This is it. They're putting the sleeping bag on us so that when they shoot us, they don't get blood on them.

The last thing that I remember seeing before they threw the sleeping bag over Tyler and I is Tyler's head. I crawled over and I just put my hand over his head and kind of held his head. And I was whispering to him that I loved him and I was so very sorry that we got us into this. And he was like, it's OK, Mom. It's OK. I love you. It's OK.

Tyler was sick, and we were all just so cold from being out exposed to that cold fog and air for so long. So we wrapped the sleeping bags around Tyler, and Chris just said, come on, we're walking. We're getting out of here.

There were cactus, there were trees, there were bushes, there were barbed wire fences everywhere. The rocks were wearing flip-flops and we're trying to go down steep goat trail type, no trail terrain. I mean, just not something that you would ever walk on if you were wearing hiking boots. I mean, it was just bad.
