Family reveals new details on ‘haunting’ hospital stay of Oklahoma college students allegedly drugged sipping water at Cancun resort

Family members feared for the lives of the two Oklahoma college students allegedly drugged at a swim-up bar in Mexico as they waited in different countries while one of the girl’s boyfriends was repeatedly denied access to their hospital rooms.

Kaylie Pitzer and Zara Hull were vacationing in Cancun with their friends when they ordered some water at the resort’s pool bar on Aug. 2nd and suddenly slumped over.

A terrifying photo captured the students with their heads lying on the bar while they held hands before they were wheelchaired up to their rooms.

Hull, 20, was later rushed to a private hospital when she began convulsing from the drugs, which US doctors believed to be synthetic fentanyl, according to KWTV.

Her boyfriend, Jake Snider went with her to the ICU where she was “so sedated that she couldn’t open her eyes or speak,” Snider’s mother said of the horrifying ordeal.

“My son was not allowed to stay with her. We had to pay $200 for him to have a room upstairs for the night. It was the 2nd floor of the hospital and the floor was completely VACANT. The room was merely a hospital room,” Stephanie Snider wrote on Facebook.

Snider revealed that her son was too scared to sleep because he feared something would happen to him.

“He couldn’t get in downstairs again to see Zara until the next morning. We sat in 2 different countries- praying all night for safety and health,” she said.

When Jake Snider got down to Hull at 8 a.m. on Aug. 3, Snider said her son found Hull on a ventilator, with a catheter, and under heavy sedation.

Hospital staff allegedly said they were taking Hull to another location for an MRI, which the family speculated was a cover for trafficking.

“He told them to STOP EVERYTHING he’s taking her out. We told him, ‘do NOT let them take her, do NOT let them do anything else to her-we were working on getting them out!'”

“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),” Snider’s post added. “They most likely would have done something to my son as well, possibly even death.”

The hospital allegedly had already demanded a $10,000 deposit prior to any treatment and then demanded another $25,000 “by Sunday morning to continue treatment or $5,000 to release, Snider previously said on Facebook.

Thirty hours later, a family friend secured a $28,000 private plane to medevac Hull and Snider to Texas where she was hospitalized as Jake had obtained a partial list of medications Hull was given.

Pitzer and her boyfriend secured a flight to Dallas where they made a “beeline” to the Dallas hospital and the two best friends embraced, she told News 9.

Snider shared that she and the parents of the girls still can’t “close their eyes” over the “haunting”, while Jake “is never going to forget the hell he went through to get Zara and himself out of there alive.”

“For Zara and Kaylie, they have horrible feelings of only what we told them happened to them and yet no memory at all during the ordeal – but are tortured by the fact it happened to them,” Snider concluded.

Hull’s convulsions were her body reacting to the drugs.

She was released from the hospital on Friday but is expecting more medical bills with a GoFundMe set up for them.
