A popular resort town for American tourists in Mexico may have a serial killer on the loose, officials said, as they probe connections between the murders of three women.<\/p>\n

Puerto Vallarta police are reviewing evidence, surveillance footage, and reports to determine whether the deaths are connected.<\/p>\n

All the women who died were in their early-to-mid thirties and had tattoos. The bodies were partially undressed in isolated areas, police said.<\/p>\n

On May 10, the first female victim was found near a well-known viewpoint, Rancho El Piruli. The second victim was found at a roadside stop along a highway nearly a week later.<\/p>\n

The most recent body was discovered at a dirt road in the Parque Las Palmas neighborhood.<\/p>\n

No identities have been confirmed, but local reports suggest the third woman could be missing 22-year-old Elizabeth Martinez from Mexico.<\/p>\n

Tattoo marks were located on the neck, hand, and arm, and consisted of a skull, a woman with horns, and a name. Her body showed signs of violence, Mexico News Daily reported.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains in its early stages, officials said, as they look into the possibility the woman\u2019s bodies were simply transported to Puerto Vallarta after being murdered elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The swirling speculation around a potential serial killer may do more damage to the resort town\u2019s reputation this year.<\/p>\n

Earlier in February, the town was devastated by burned-out buses and looted shops after cartel members took revenge for the death of the notorious Jalisco New Generation Cartel\u2019s top boss El Mencho.<\/p>\n

American tourists were stranded in the city as they witnessed the violence. <\/p>\n

Paul Tumpowsky, chief revenue officer for Fora Travel, told The Post that travelers to the area should have a \u201cheightened sense of awareness, not to the point of ruining your vacation, but being smart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a time to think about and plan a little bit more about what\u2019s the appropriate amount of risk you\u2019re willing to take,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
