Cibolo Creek Ranch DOES boast 'Security'...one would assume that would include CCTV coverage of grounds and exterior of rooms.
Still no reports that these have been requested or reviewed.
From 'Amenities':
Phone services
· Photocopy center
· Pool
· Public area air conditioned
· Restaurant
· Sauna
· Security
· Storage space
· Toilet
· Train access

Security? Do they mean the guy who guards the front gate?
Toilet? I'm glad that no one has to worry about going to the loo!
Lastly, I didn't know they had "train access." I thought that no form of mass transit was available and the only ways to get to Cibolo were by private jet or car.
Maybe it's Border Patrol nearby?
Are you referring to "security" or the "toilet?"
I was at Cibolo Creek about7 years ago, when a friend rented the whole place for two nights, for her wedding. The accommodations were luxurious, for a ranch, and every effort was made to make it a special experience. The food was great, and the events went nicely.
I think I had the same room Antonin Scalia was found dead in. I hope he enjoyed his visit, but it didn't really work out too well for him. He couldn't have spent his last days in a better place.
Stayed March 2015, traveled with friends

That's a possibility. My thoughts were if this was planned out in advance to any extent maybe the former manager was too much of upstanding citizen to go along with the plan.
George Van Etten, a property manager at Cibolo Creek Ranch, shows reporters the Ranch house the day following the death Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at the West Texas Resort ranch February 14 , 2016 in Shafter, Texas. Justice Scalia stayed in the "El Presidente" suite, shown behind Van Etten, this past Friday night, he was found Saturday morning to have died, not responding to those who tried to wake him. less

That's just.....weird. No, it certainly didn't work out well for him. Sheesh. Some people have a certain way with words. Or they're just completely insentive, tact less, insensitive jerks.

I'm sure no one would mention all the details. Maybe they just couldn't be trusted.
I looked around on LinkedIn and it looks like they go through managers fairly frequently. I would imagine working for a billionaire would be hard.

He's in Argentina now. Seriously...Foster is visiting the homeland of Pope Francis.
Cleaning up some old mess from the Pope's Jorge Bergoglio days, no doubt?!
And there appears MUCH to clean up:
Can God Forgive Jorge Mario Bergoglio?
Then came the allegations concerning the former Jesuit Provincial’s ‘timid’ behavior toward the military dictatorship as Argentina veered into a state of total warfare against an estimated 30,000 citizens suspected of harboring subversive desires (if not acts) who were disappeared (kidnapped), tortured, and murdered in a paranoid limpieza, a social-political cleansing so fierce, so arbitrary, so ugly that some of military officials ordered to carry out the executions became ill and went to their priests for advice.
Unfortunately, there were enough high ranking Catholic clerics who joined forces with the Dirty War warriors, to calm the doubts of the executioners, using Scriptural texts and Theological Reason.
Although the Vatican stepped in quickly to deny the allegations as nothing more than “opportunistic defamations from anti-clerical leftists” (New York Times), the accusations against now Pope Francis are not new and they are troubling. There are three standing accusations against him, although only one has, thus far, been seriously vetted by the media.
The first concerns Bergoglio’s privileged knowledge and his possible complicity in sanctioning the removal (i.e, confiscation) of babies from disappeared and detained political prisoners and their placement in ‘good’ Christian, military households where they would be saved from the germ of the subversive Marxist thinking of their parents...MORE
The Disappearance of Bergoglio’s Colleague and Former Boss, Esther Balestrino de Careaga
The second allegation concerns the Tribunal’s investigation of a military raid on a rural church during which three persons, two French missionary nuns and a lay catechist , and personal friend of Bergoglio were disappeared. In the following excerpt the judge and prosecutor are more firm...MORE
The third accusation, and the one that has received the greatest attention, concerns the role Bergoglio played in the disappearance, detention, interrogation and torture of two of his own Jesuit priests in training: Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalics...MORE
