After a 25-year-old North Carolina woman died on a trip with friends to Cabo, her family demanded answers — but are now left with agonizing questions
as to what happened. But on Wednesday, U.S. federal authorities told them that they don’t have the evidence to pursue criminal charges in the case.
Robinson, a hair stylist from North Carolina and graduate of Winston-Salem State University, died of “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation,” according to her official death certificate. Initially, Mexican law enforcement and the six friends with Robinson on the trip led her family to believe that alcohol poisoning had been the cause of her death.
“When the autopsy came back, they said it didn’t have anything to do with the alcohol,” said Robinson’s mother, Salamondra Robinson, in November. “[They] said that she had a broken neck and her spine in the back was cracked. She had been beaten.” The emergence of a video in which another woman appears to repeatedly punch Robinson in a hotel room further added to suspicion that she had suffered her fatal injuries from an assault.
“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Ms. Robinson has been a priority for federal prosecutors and the FBI,” read a Wednesdayfrom the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices for the Middle and Western Districts of North Carolina. “Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms.
“As a matter of policy, federal officials generally do not issue public statements concerning the status of an investigation,” the statement continues. Authorities made an exception due to “the circumstances of Ms. Robinson’s death and the public concern surrounding this investigation,” and remain “prepared to review and examine new information related to the investigation should it become available.
