Sheila Nabb Attacked in Mexico
Sheila Nabb, 37, from Calgary, Canada, was vacationing in Mazatlan, Mexico, with her husband when she was brutally attacked. The details are sketchy about how Nabb ended up in an elevator in the middle of the night.
Apparently video surveillance has identified the perpetrator as Jose Ramon Acosta Quintero, 28.
Quintero says that Sheila came into the elevator that he was on in the middle of the night: Naked. He confesses in the video above about his involvement, but now says that his written confession was coerced and he was tortured. He says that he was coerced into signing a confession that he wanted to kill Nabb. He only admits to hitting her.
Several things stand out to me in this video with the first one being how there is very low levels of stress in Quintero’s face. A man being coerced would be under severe stress, but Quintero isn’t showing us this. This is a huge red flag.
He is, however, nervous, because we can hear his voice quiver.
Quintero also shows no emotions whatsoever outside of being nervous and low stress levels. When he talks about Sheila supposedly entering the elevator naked, he doesn’t show surprise, which is most startling! Most men would be totally shocked if a naked woman walked into a hotel elevator. It’s something most men won’t witness in a lifetime and yet Quintero is totally blank. His reaction is very notable.
Some people wonder if Sheila was naked when she entered the elevator because she was sleep walking. The family has neither denied or confirmed that she has a history of doing so. All Sheila’s husband remembers is waking up and finding the door to his hotel room open, and Sheila gone. Sheila was later found unconscious in a pool of blood in the elevator with nearly every bone in her face broken.
Quintero says about his interaction with Shelia in the elevator when the doors opened, “I put my hand on the door, because ah…I wanted to keep talking to her…(shoulder shrug) because I don’t know…because we were…because I thought we were talking normally. And she got afraid when I didn’t let her out.”
Quintero shows a lot of self-censoring, which is a strong indication of deception. And he doesn’t say anything that makes sense either. I don’t believe he is being honest with us. He just wanted to talk to her because they were talking normally? Ridiculous. Her family does confirm she wasn’t sexually assaulted.
He goes on to say, “I hit her four or five times in the face with my fists and then I left.”
Notice how he says as an add-on, “with my fists”. Why did he have a need to clarify this?
You can hear a reporter in the background say, “The video says you were kicking her.”
Quintero responds with a little stress in his forehead, “No, uh…I wasn’t kicking her. In the video, I’ve seen the video, and ….it…it does show that I put my foot back into…into the elevator, but I, ah…it wasn’t a kick…I…I think that I…I… just…I think that I just, ah, maybe pushed her hand back in so the doors would close and I could leave.”
“Maybe pushed her hand back?” That doesn’t sound like a clear memory to me. It sounds like a suggestion!
Quintero admits to being drunk and high on cocaine. Cocaine is known to affect dopamine in the brain, memory and cognitive function. Does it affect how one feels emotions? Why is this guy so emotionless? It immediately begs the question of psychopathy.
Quintero says, “It wasn’t planned or anything like that, it just happened in the moment . . . I didn’t try to abuse her, I didn’t try to rob her or anything. I was just afraid and I wanted to leave.”
Do you believe him?
Clearly, Quintero doesn’t want to admit to what he did. He is trying to avoid it at all costs. I also don’t buy his apology as anything other than the thought that he wished he never got himself in the position he is in: self-pity.
Sad story.
Update: A reader on FB says that another Canadian man is suspect, and that Quintero could be the fall guy. This cannot be ruled out. Quintero is not being forthright, but I never claim to know what a lie is about.
