Several locals were outraged by a YouTube video degrading the hometown of Laredo citizens.
That viral video caused a lot of controversy in the gateway city and the woman who made that video returned to Laredo today.
It was the YouTube video posted by Sara Walls that caused the mayor to speak out to the public; the video that made several Laredo officials fly to Kentucky to congratulate a man who defended the city with another YouTube video; the video that caused her husband to come on Pro 8 News to apologize to the citizens of Laredo.
Her husband told us she left town, but she returned today with a U-Haul truck to officially move out.
Pro 8 News attempted to speak to Sara Walls, but she refused to talk and slammed her car door on us.
Her husband Michael Walls, who originally apologized for the video, told us Sara did not wish to speak to us.
"We're not worried about the bad press, we don't care what people think."
Most people didn't wish to comment on Sara Walls leaving, but one neighbor said he has never met the Walls’ before and didn't know they lived in his neighborhood.
He had heard, however, about her YouTube video degrading Laredo.
"The woman.....says some things about the cochinos and menudo celebration but I don't know these people."
So as vocal as Sara Walls was on her YouTube video, the only memory she left on this day was a goodbye Laredo in the form of a slammed door.
