Family shares emotional update on Oklahoma student, 20, found unconscious in Mexico after being 'drugged' at Cancun swim-up bar

1 month ago 8

An Oklahoma college student who is believed to have been drugged at a swim-up bar in Mexico has returned home as her boyfriend's mom reveals how truly horrific the ordeal was. 

Zara Hull, 20, finally returned home on Friday after spending a week in the hospital after she and her friend Kaylie Pitze's waters were allegedly drugged in Cancun while on vacation with their boyfriends on August 2. 

'This is really hitting home tonight as I sit here and think about just one week ago today our worst nightmare started,' Stephanie Snider, Hull's boyfriend's mother, wrote in an emotional Facebook post

Hull was rushed to the hospital after experiencing convulsions, passing out, and becoming 'basically paralyzed.' After experiencing seizures throughout the night, doctors intubated the young woman and kept pumping her full of drugs. 

The next morning, her boyfriend, Jack Snider, found her on a ventilator and doctors told him they were going to take her to another location for an MRI, but he declined and told them he would be getting her discharged. 

'We believe they were planning to take her away to be trafficked or perhaps even to take her organs (which is what we were later told is a common thing that is done),' Stephanie speculated on Facebook. 'They most likely would have done something to my son as well, possibly even death.

'This is happening a lot, folks. To people all the time. It could be you or your family next time. PLEASE be aware.' 

While it is unclear if Snyder's theories are correct, the ordeal was certainly an unpleasant one for the unlucky tourists.

Jack had spent the night on the second floor of the hospital after forking over $200, where he stayed in a room that only locked from the 'outside,' she mother said, who also noted the floor was 'vacant.' 

'He was afraid to sleep or close his eyes for fear of someone coming in and doing something to him,' she wrote. 

The hospital allegedly demanded more money to discharge her and told them an air ambulance to the US would cost $26,000. 

The group secured a private plane to fly them to Dallas, where Hull was then hospitalized as doctors worked to figure out the cause of her ailment. 

Doctors say they have not found anything wrong with Hull, even though she has experienced at least 18 convulsions.

The families 'believe they were planning to take [Hull] away to be trafficked or perhaps even to take her organs.' They believe the girls may have been drugged with 'synthetic fentanyl,' causing them to pass out at the bar (pictured)

They say it is possible that the she was drugged.

'We think it was possibly synthetic fentanyl,' Hull told KFOR.

While in Texas, Hull had to relearn to walk and still doesn't fully remember what happened to her. 

'There’s still so much that she doesn’t remember - not just the time she was unconscious in Mexico, but for the first few days she was back in the US as well,' Stephanie wrote. 

'That’s so upsetting to her but like we told her, that’s probably a good thing. Jake told her: "Trust me, I’m thankful you don’t remember because it was awful and I wouldn’t want you to know how bad it was."' 

Stephanie said the college student was still 'weak' and 'very tired' and still not feeling 'normal' yet, but she will 'with time.'

Kaylie did not end up in the hospital, but had a tough 24 hours after she was possibly drugged. 

The families have started a GoFundMe page to ask for help covering the students' medical costs.

It has raised nearly $23,000 in a week.
