Infamous Slice of Costa Rican Paradise For Sale : The Bender Estate Boracayan

Image
Posted: 13 May 2019 07:34 AM PDT Most expats and Ticos alike remember the infamous death of multi-millionaire hedge fund manager John Felix Bender in Florida de Baru in 2010, and the subsequent three trials of Bender’s wife, Ann Patton Bender, for Intentional Homicide. The Bender case put the Southern Zone of Costa Rica in the international news spotlight, and its infamy was spread far and wide by extensive television coverage on CNN,  48 Hours, CBS , and in the local press, most notably The Costa Rica Star. Ultimately, Ann Bender was released from all charges for insufficient evidence and less than state-of-the-art incriminating forensic proof. She now lives in the USA, where she has begun a new life, leaving behind the tragedy of her husband’s death and the loss of their shared fortune, estimated at $600 million. Boracayan has now come up for sale, for a cool $25 million. Boracayan in Spanish means … well, nothing. The Benders made up the word because they tho...

(Chapter III) La Reina Del Sur: Costa Rica’s Drug Diva Sorority

Image
By Carol Blair The Costa Rica Star This is the third installment of The Costa Rica Star’s exclusives six part original series of the upcoming book, “Drug Diva”, by Carol Vaughn the story of one of Central America’s fiercest female narco-traffickers, Cristel Gomez Espinoza. You can read our previous published first installment  here  and the second installment  here . It is well known how dangerous La Reina del Sur de Costa Rica is – but it’s also dangerous to be this 25 year old. This fact was brought painfully into focus on December 28, 2018, when a 20- year old Nicaraguan waitress named Tatty Matamoros was found dead, thrown out of a moving car. Her only crime was that she bore a slight resemblance to Costa Rica’s Reina del Sur, and had similar blue roses tattooed on her inner arms. Someone wanted Gomez Espinoza dead. Tatiana Matamoros, known fondly as Tatty to her family and friends, came to Costa Rica in 2017 to find a better job and better quality of...

VIDEO: Happy Belated Mothers day to a Jaguar and her Cubs in Costa Rica

Image
The Costa Rica Star By Carol Blair V. Baby jaguars are called cubs (cachorros in Spanish), and are born with their eyelids tightly shut. After two weeks, their eyes open, leaving them less defenseless. After six months, the mother jaguar begins to teach them to hunt. The Universidad Nacional video is probably of cubs at about 6 months to a year. After their second birthday, the cubs leave home to go off and hunt by themselves. Jaguars have yellow or orange coats, with dark spots, and short legs. Their spots are unlike any other large cats: the spots look like little roses, and are called rosettes. The team that captured the video of Maria and her cubs commented, “It’s a great pleasure to see her (Maria) walking in her territory, and even better, teaching future generations of jaguars how to defend their habitats.” Defending the jaguar population of Costa Rica is essential to their preservation and conservation. The Jaguar Program of the International Institute for Wildlife Conservat...
