It's unclear whether Nielsen's family heard the account from the boy himself, or if it was shared with them by authorities.According to the details the boy has shared, Nielsen's family believes Paul, Vasquez and his step-son were on their way to Zihuatanejo, a tourist destination in Guerrero state on the Pacific Coast. While they were driving, three vehicles began chasing them, the statement said.
