Surviving Changes Podcast
The Crash That Wasn't an Accident
We've all been deceived by people we trusted, but few have experienced it with potentially life-threatening consequences. This episode peels back the layers of seemingly innocent relationships to reveal a disturbing pattern of calculated manipulation and possible conspiracy.
After losing everything back home, I found myself in Cabo San Lucas, vulnerable and rebuilding from scratch. When an older American couple, Larry and Anita, appeared offering friendship and support, they seemed like guardian angels sent at exactly the right moment. Their generosity—opening their home, helping me find housing, introducing me to local connections—painted a picture of compassionate expats helping a fellow American through tough times.
The Fourth of July celebration started innocently enough. Drinks at local bars with plans to watch fireworks from Larry and Anita's condo overlooking the Arch. But strange decisions began accumulating: their unusual insistence I shouldn't drive despite similar previous situations, Larry providing Xanax despite knowing it causes blackouts with alcohol, and most tellingly, their failure to make even a single call when we never arrived at their home after supposedly following them there.
Waking up in a Mexican hospital with facial stitches and no memory of how I got there was terrifying enough. But the realization that followed was worse—people I thought were friends had likely orchestrated the entire "accident." As a former attorney who had made powerful enemies, I recognized the pattern too late. The truth becomes clear when you ask what genuine friends would do if you mysteriously disappeared on your way to their home. They would call. They would worry. They would create exactly the digital trail of concern that Larry and Anita carefully avoided.

Hello everybody, I'm Heidi, and this is the Surviving Changes Podcast. So, anita and Larry, when I first got to Cabo, I was by now I had seen quite a pattern, no matter where I had been. As soon as I got there, it was going to be clear I was down and out because that's how I rolled in. I was going to be clear I was down and out because that's how I rolled in. Um, I was going to work hard. Uh, I mean, I, I'm the same person, no matter what situation you put me in. I'm going to respond how I have to, clearly, um, and my responses will be different based on the situation, but I, what you see, is what you get here, and so, um, I'm looking by this point in time, I'm actually looking for these people. They all have the same quality. They come to you, um, in a very good position. They all come to you, um, as godly people, helpful people. Uh, they all have the same characteristics about them. They all come to you as godly people, helpful people. They all have the same characteristics about them. When they come into your life right and out of nowhere, they're there to help you. You call them angels because they just came out of the blue. You spend a lot of time together. I mean there's there's a clear pattern as to uh, who. They are right, even though I I might not know exactly they're. They're clearly Freemasons, um, and they're also clearly, uh, you know some of the I'm going to use the term deep state, because deep state is the fusion center people.
Speaker 1:But there's also just the local bar that I've pissed off, the judges that I've made look stupid right at some point, the prosecutors I've made cry, the cops I've made pee themselves at trial. There's a whole host of days. I recognize this. I recognize this as I'm doing it. I don't know how many times that I said to clients they're like this isn't fair. I'm like I know and I'm fully going to go through something very unfair at some point in the future because I'm helping you. I didn't know how unfair it was going to be, and so that I didn't know how unfair it was going to be and so that I didn't know I didn't know it was going to be set up for all kinds of stuff that I didn't know, but I fully expected it.
Speaker 1:But so, anyway, and I don't fully trust Patty at this point, the way that she's stuck around as quite the hero makes sense and doesn't make sense. There's lots of things she does that a person who cares would do, and then there's other stuff that she just lets go. Here's an example she got a whole bunch of my memories from someone else who couldn't store them any longer and she just left them out on her porch for a long time, didn't even open it, told me about it Then, when I asked her to please send them to me, she still hasn't, because she found out that that typewriter was in there, the typewriter that I used when I was trying to defend myself with the Bar Association, that I used when I was trying to defend myself with the Bar Association. And so when I'm going into Cabo, I'm already very aware we're on the west coast. It's not that far to Seattle. Patty's got me here the very first people I meet, lo and behold, they're the tow company. Now, all of a sudden, I've got other angels coming in. Now I'm just killing time. Uh, god's gonna protect me. I know for a fact at this point in time, god's going to protect me and, um, he's gonna hurt these people. For if, if they don't have a good I know at this point in time, if they don't have a good intention, they very well could end up in hell or some bad things happening to them, but nothing worse is going to happen to me. I'm already at the worst part. I just need to wait it out until it gets better.
Speaker 1:But so we spend a lot of time together and there is this bartender named Tricky. Well, that we named Tricky and he's a cartel member, and so I get to know they party there a lot. I mean he will work and party and he'd sell cocaine from behind the bar. You know stuff like that. And so if I'm living there at Cabo Jack's, obviously I get to know Tricky quite a bit, and Tricky would be one of our servers when Anita and Larry would come in, and they came in just about every single day. They don't have much to do, they're retired and that's. They either go to the pool and drink or they go into town to drink. That's their day. It's just a matter of where it's going to be. So they came in a lot and that made everybody happy, happy. Tricky was happy because he made a lot of money on it. Um, though they would, they would buy so much fucking alcohol, um and tricky, and those guys apparently would learn that they could go, larry and anita, and those guys would pay it, and then they could tell um, well, I believe this is what happened. I think they got that money back from Charlie essentially I don't know that, but so, anyway, it was a good deal for everybody and it didn't hurt me at all.
Speaker 1:But so now I've moved into their house the condo in the spare room, and now after that, um, me and Anita are both looking for apartments, but I'm not looking hard. I can go back to Cabo Jack's for free, um, but she finds a little place. The place is out there, the Altamira Plus. So we go look at it. Um, it's a great place. And they put the money down, we get the place. Um, and I think these guys are angels. At this point I cautiously believe they're angels. It's a very big help. But so now, fast forward, it's 4th of July and they're like okay, hey, let's go into Cabo Jack's, let's get drunk, and then we'll watch the fireworks at their place, because their condo overlooks the arch and so you can see all of the fireworks from their house, and we can just sit on the roof and finish drinking and watch the fireworks, and it'll be great. I can just spend the night there if I need to and call it good.
Speaker 1:And so we first went to Cabo Jack Jacks and Tricky was actually bartending over at a place, los Barillas at the time and so we drank at Cabo Jacks for a while. Jenny probably served us hey, jenny, if you're listening. Um, jenny doesn't know much. Well, she might now much English and I didn't know her Spanish, but we, we talked, we got along pretty good. I love Jenny, she's great. I have nothing bad to say about Jenny. She's a sweet little girl. She has a baby now, I guess. Actually, I think the baby's a couple years old. Okay, so anyway, and this is part of the reason why.
Speaker 1:So there's two reasons why Larry and Anita are suspect here. So we go over to Los Perillos and we get really, really more drunk over there as we're waiting for Tricky to get off of his shift, because we all decide together I think we're all deciding together that he's going to go with us. And so after he gets off, anita comes out, and it was weird, because so at that los perillas place there's no parking, and so you just, um, when they take it up, you tell them hey, we're here for a little while, give them their keys, they'll drive it up and then they'll bring you back your keys. And then, when you're ready to go, you're like, okay, go get my car, and they'll bring, come back and get their car, and so it's time to go. And they brought the car back, um, and I clearly was too, too drunk to drive. I know that. But, anita, I've been too drunk to drive lots of times and anita had never, ever said anything about it. And on this particular time she said no, heidi, you're too drunk to drive. And she gave tricky my keys and said let Tricky drive. I'm like, okay, fine. And so we let Tricky drive and they're following us, we're supposed to be going out to their house, but so I don't know what happens Because, also, larry got me some Xanax, which also was interesting.
Speaker 1:So Anita would sometimes give me some of hers, but on this particular day, larry went out of the kindness of his heart and got me a full bottle of Xanax, knowing that I black out when I drink and take Xanax. And so I don't know if I blacked out because I got slipped a Xanax, I don't know. Or maybe I voluntarily took one, or I don't know if it blacked out because I got slipped as annex. I don't know, or maybe I voluntarily took one, or I don't know if it was because of the accident, but what I know is I woke up in. The last thing I remember is handing my keys over.
Speaker 1:You know that situation happening in me, handing my keys over to Tricky, tricky, and then I woke up in a Mexican hospital and hurting. Those guys didn't speak English at all. I was not cuffed to the bed, I clearly had stitches in my face, under my eye, but I couldn't see myself. I couldn't see anything, and I asked if I could leave. I said can I go? And they said no, and that really scared me. And so as soon as everybody went around the corner, I snuck the hell out of there and um started walking home. It was a long walk, uh and um, I didn't realize my face was really fucked up. I had stitches under my eye. Really, really, I didn't look good at all.
Speaker 1:And so I'm walking up to my place and there's some guys sitting on the side of the road and I have $20 in my pocket and I'm like, hey, $20 to drive me, and I'm doing it in my best Spanish I can and they're trying to understand, and so I give them $20, and they drive me there and I'm doing it my best spanish I can, and they're trying to understand, and so I give them 20 bucks and they drive me home. I have to break the window to get in because I don't have my keys, um, I don't have my vehicle. I don't know, even I don't. I don't know what's happened at that point, uh. But so I get in my house, cut myself getting in, feed Pellucci, um, look in the mirror and see, oh my God, my face is really fucked up, um, and I call Larry and Anita and ask what's up and they're like oh my God, what happened? We heard you got in a wreck. I'm like well, so what do you know? Because I don't know anything, because I don't know anything.
Speaker 1:And so they proceeded to tell me that we were leaving Los Berlos and they were behind us going out to their house, and then Tricky pulled over and they kept driving and they just went out to the house, and then we never showed up, and then they hadn't heard anything from me since until right then. I'm like what the fuck? What do you mean from me since? Until right then? And I'm like, what the fuck? What do you mean? Um, and so Larry has friends, you know, at the friends of friends at the cop shop.
Speaker 1:All of those guys do, charlie does and so they proceed to tell me in pieces, little pieces, oh, to piece the story together that, um, what had happened was apparently Tricky had hit another guy who also had been drinking head on and this was the story I was told and that we went in and hit the wall and the other guy hit another car, and that they picked me up in an ambulance and that both of those guys ran from the scene, and that they picked me up in the ambulance and that I was being charged with a hit and run, even though they picked me up in the passenger seat, and so I was really hurting. So Larry went and negotiated all this with the cops for me, supposedly, charged me 10,000 pesos that I could work with him to get back, charged me 10,000 pesos that I could work with him to give back. But they helped take care of me, right. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1:And now I didn't catch Larry and Anita in the middle of anything. I tried with that. I tried with that little radio earpiece listening to Amy and then using the other one to listen to them talk. But the problem was they have two stories the way that their condo is, it just wasn't physically possible, I couldn't get a good signal. And the way that they interact, it was somebody in the house. It just wasn't possible. So I didn't get anything directly as far as that goes. But here's where common sense just comes in, and they didn't ever have a good explanation for me. I kind of asked them about it, but but not too much. Not too much Because it's when I knew that they weren't my friends.
Speaker 1:They were compromised from the beginning helping me, helping me, helping me. So we were supposed to be out there at their house. We had just had a great time in town. Larry and Nita, tricky and me All four of us were supposed to go to their house, get drunk, watch the fireworks. Me and Tricky are following them. Then we pull over to the side of the road, supposedly, and they drive on by and go home. Then they don't hear anything from us either of us, supposedly.
Speaker 1:Not once did they try calling, not one time. There was not one missed call. I did have my phone and there was not one missed call on my phone from larry or anita saying, hey, why didn't you show up? And the only thing I can figure is because that head-on collision was supposed to hurt me real good, um, and he left me in the the um bleeding out of my face, passed out. I don't know if that wreck was supposed to kill me, I don't know, but I do know that anybody that's a friend that believes that you're following them and you're going to be at their house for Fourth of July really soon, would make at least one phone call when you didn't show up to say, hey, where are you? Are you okay? What happened? But they didn't. And the only thing I could tell you is the reason that they didn't do that is because they knew I wasn't okay.
Speaker 1:Right, the problem is with some of these deals is they might be getting paid to hurt me through the Fusion Center, the Masons, all of those guys, that money, essentially, and we'll find out with them exactly. With each ones we'll figure out. We'll get to see how they were. We know they were involved, but like in which exact section and how? Who gave them their check? Um, but I can only figure that um, they came in from the very beginning. That thing was a setup from the very beginning. Now we'll find out.
Speaker 1:And there's one more thing that happens with larry here later. But I, I like larry. Here's the problem. Um, I had fun with these guys. Me and larry would go drinking. We'd go. What we'd tell? We tell anita we were watching flags to see how the fishing was, the fishing flags, but really we were watching boobies. The only flags we watched were boobies. We'd go into town and just get smashed and watch girls walk by all day and so and larry ended up being going on the helicopter ride with me. Larry went um on a bunch of like the razors and things like that. Um, we did a lot of the sunset tours together. So I had a lot of fun with these guys and it's rough to think that they're part of it like that.
Speaker 1:But here's one thing I can tell you uh, in everything that I know, um, if they were my friends and they cared about me and they didn't know that was going to happen, they would have made at least one phone call to see how I was. The fact that they didn't make even one phone call to see how I was meant that they didn't want any sort of phone trail. They wanted no phone trail. So when someone came and looked later, there would be no evidence at all that they tried calling me at all. There would be nothing directly related. So you can't, you can't tell me that there's a reasonable explanation for not calling and checking on me. So Larry and Anita compromised, but that made it really easy. Now I didn't call them on that I still have to this day. I can call them up and act like nothing's happened and they, well, once they hear this, they'll know that I know, but, like I can, I still haven't confronted any of those guys.
Speaker 1:And, um, what this does now at this point in time with Larry and Anita, I'm very aware there is, this group is in Cabo and they, they might not have good intentions for me, go figure. So, all right, the van is totaled. Um, I have that apartment. I have ran from the hospital mexican hospital I've got six to eight stitches in my face, um, and I'm trying to figure out how to start a tour business. So I've got a couple things going on. Let me tell you what happens next. I'm Heidi and this is the Surviving Changes podcast. Thanks for sticking with me.
