A large amount of diesel oil spilled into Costa Rican waters off the coast of Brasilito earlier this week when a shrimping vessel sank.

Early in the morning on Dec. 22, Rutkiewicz was shot twice in a car in Brasilito. He drove several hundred meters to find help, but bled to death waiting on an ambulance. In the absence of helpful leads, Rutkiewicz’s previous status as a witness in a murder trial in Troy, New York, has been referenced repeatedly in the press.

Details remain murky in shooting death of a U.S. tourist who frequently stayed in Potrero, a relaxed beach town in Guanacaste.
