PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico -- A Mexican judge, his secretary and two jail employees were under investigation Monday after a man accused of killing a vacationing Colorado university student escaped from jail.
Local prosecutor Guillermo Martin Diaz said the four may have played a role in helping Alfonso Ramirez walk out of a Puerto Vallarta jail early Friday.
Ramirez is accused of killing 21-year-old David Parrish of Boulder, Colorado, during a robbery on Wednesday.
Diaz told a news conference Monday that officials want to know why the judge and his secretary issued a release order and the two jail employees let Ramirez go, all before dawn Friday.
