A young man from Quebec arrived on Mexico's Pacific coast with a lifetime ahead of him and was dead within a day, his fate sealed by a dispute over a bar tab in a beach town far from home. Victor Masson, 27, was found in his car in a part of Puerto Escondido that tourists rarely reach, a detail that speaks quietly to how far the night carried him from safety. A week after his death, Mexican authorities arrested a suspect — a small measure of accountability in a case that has left a family in silence and a larger question lingering about the risks that gather, unseen, in unfamiliar places.
