I have been watching this on the Escapee facebook pages and thought that I'd share it with everyone here. I have not been able to find anything new in the past day or so.
Kirk, If I read the picture correctly James is a veteran. Sure hope they are unharmed. You might consider posting this on irv2.com and FMCA forums, both websites have a large TX presence.
There was an update on Facebook that said the truck and trailer was seen being driven across the Mexico border and the man driving was not James. No other information was available. No hits on their passports.

Does not sound good..
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A gruesome discovery was made in an area known as the "Bowl" just south of Bob Hall Pier Sunday night, according to Kleberg County Chief Deputy Jaime Garza.
Garza told 3News that investigators found, what they presume to be, the body of a woman Sunday night.
Not looking good...The locals are quoted talking about how isolated the area is. That's kind of what boondockers look for. Unfortunately in this day and age you need to be a lot more aware of your surroundings, all the time, even when you think you're alone.
My bad, wrong information. Thanks for catching it Dutch.

So, reporting is that they set up camp in an isolated location on Padre Island, south of Corpus. They were murdered and buried. Surveillance footage shows the pickup and camper crossing into Mexico on October 21. I found this information here.
In light of the ongoing nature of this horrible event it is likely best to just deal with the facts. However, at some point, I think there is a place for discussion about personal safety when camping in isolated places.

It did not end well.
So, reporting is that they set up camp in an isolated location on Padre Island, south of Corpus. . .
What I've read is that they were at Padre Balli Park (which has a designated camping area). It is near a waterpark, Mustang Island State Park and at the Causeway Hwy at Corpus Christi. To me, that's not isolated.
It's certainly terrible but I wouldn't definitely say it happened because of where they were staying. Murders happen everywhere - in the smallest towns and the biggest cities.
With the area they were in I'm not surprised all that much. We spent part of last winter in that area and we will never go back.

You may more know than I do (which is just what I've read). I saw that the Kleberg Co. Sheriff's Office (Kingsville) was investigating and guessed that they were farther south than that, but I see now that the county line is just south Padre Balli Park.
