U.S. Woman Attacked in Bocas
Lindsey Buchanan was flown to the hospital in David after receiving a brutal beating in Bocas del Toro on Tuesday night.
Originally from Texas, 28-year-old Buchanan has been living in the Caribbean archipelago where her family runs a property management company.
Although the details are not yet clear, it is known that Buchanan was watching television with a Bocas resident alledgly named Andrey Howell when he attacked her repeatedly with a two-by-four.
The athletic Buchanan was able to fight back and escape but, according to initial reports, received fractures to her skull and underwent an operation on her hand.
I hope the authorities start taking these matters more seriously and handing down harsher punishments! We saw how long it took them to investigate the disappearence of Cher Hughes. I hope they don’t let this criminal get away.
