    No problem Jeff, happy to help in any way I can. David Gimelfarb is indeed my missing friend from Rincon de Vieja. Missing for 11 months now.

    Jeff,

    Wonderful news about the Social Security benefits. You're making amazing progress and, as slow as things seem to be moving, your hard work is paying off.

    I hope she's behaving herself as well. I haven't talked to her, but she seems to be doing well from my guess. Still watching things with her checking account.. Things seem normal..
  • Jennie Akeson

    Jeff, I am wondering how safe it is to go to CR? I have a friend and her husband who have retired there and i am going to visit in a few weeks for the first time, by myself. I know and have enough common sense not to go to certain places at certain or any time. I also let the State Dept know when I was going. THis is my trip of a lifetime, for me and I want to have fun.

    Jeff,
    I haven't been on the site for a while so I sent you a friend request before I realized I could leave you a message. I called our local paper, The Courier Journal (Lousville, Ky) about Michael Dixon as I saw on my FB account David went to CR this month to search some more. I also mentioned this site and the lady I talked to was looking at this site as we spoke. David Dixon wanted an e-mail address so thought if you sent some information too they may do a story. mtrautmann@courier-journal.com (502)582-4242 Hope it helps!!

    Hi Jeff will be in contact soon... I am planning to come to NJ for awhile - will get in contact with you and perhaps be of more use to you and the group.

    Thanks for all you are doing,
  • Cynthia Scheepstra

    Hi Jeff
    Yes I did connect with the insurance board. They said that Allstate was not breaking any laws. I was contacted by an investigative reporter who has been doing research on Allstate and their business practices. I plan to make a statement for her piece.

  • Kathryn Gilleran

    My son, Aeryn M.J. Gillern , www.aeryngillern.com , has been missing since 10/29/07 in Vienna Austria, where he worked for the UN. I have received no assistance from the police there, nor any help from the US Embassy (except for "prayers"), and the State Department is useless.
  • Joyce Abramson

    I have known John and Deb for many many mooms..and when I heard of all of this my heart sank. I will do all in my power to help get the owrd out about John. I am keeping him and his mom in my prayers.

  • Farrah Fazal

    Hello Jeff,

    Thanks so much for the add on your site. Please give me an email I can use to send you my contact info. You can also email me at farrah@krgv.com. Please give me your cell so I can add you as a resource in my contact deck.

     

    It is my sincere hope we can do the stories on the Americans missing in this area. We know it happens all too often unfortunately. Thank you for offering your help. I'm sure I'll need it.

    Take good care,

    Best,

    Farrah

    hi jeff my dad traveled to matamoros 11/11/10 to get a permit for a truck that his friends where going to be taking back to their home town.we verified that he did get the permit .last person to see himsaid he was at a mexican marine check point .h has given several different versions .he told me he saw my dad and the 4 other men traveling with my dad get back in truck and head back to matamoros.he told my uncle my dad went straight and when he tried to catch up he never saw him again.

    fbi isnt doing anything,hdp wont check bank or cell records,and consulate has nothing

  • Jeff Dunsavage

    Adriana - please edit the blog post you wrote to include this information - as well as your Dad's name. Please also work with Renee and Deb to push the "Matamoros story" in the Texas media. You need to get all your family and friends calling, emailing and faxing both Texas senators to demand action on your Dad's and John's case. State Dept wont do anything absent congressional pressure. I'll reach out to you again soon.

    Jeff,

    In the event you don't remember who I am---Shohn Huckabee story in the Wall STree Journal July 17, 2010 is my son, he and Carlos are still locked away in a Juarez jail.  We are filing for last appeal through an amparo---don't know if that will help---we are also looking for other methods to put pressure for them to look at the case without a blind eye towards justice!  thanks  KH

    Thanks for approving my membership!  I plan on learning from you.  I know what it is like to search all of the US for a missing loved one but would like to learn more about searching in foriegn countries.

  • Jessie's Mom Glendene

    Thank you Jeff. I do know Kym . . . we met years ago when Jessie first went missing.I am happy to hear she is a member here too. 

     

    I will be posting more about Jessie today, Glendene. 

  • Jessica Williams

    Thanks <3

  • Carl Appel

    They found her alive this morning.  Not sure of all the details as of yet but she is alive.  She had been missing for 5 days in Paris.
  • Carl Appel

    I was disappointed that nothing was said in the news around the area in which she was missing.  She is in the hospital doing good and her Dad is flying over there to take her home.  She went missing in one of the museums
  • Jeremy McGowan

    Jeff,

    I am an ex-military security forces officer (12 year Air Force veteran) and have served in Desert Storm and several other campaigns across the planet.  I lived in Colombia (jungles) for a year, Panama for a year and in the Middle East for 2 years.  

     

    I am now the VP of Intelifuel and spend most of my time in Quito.  I am a registered warden with the US Embassy in Quito.  I have satellite communications, transportation and a large house - all of which I will volunteer for people engaged in searching for any missing American in Ecuador.  

     

    I have contacts with the Ecuadorian Special Forces and private security companies as well.  

     

    If there ever comes a time when my time, equipment or services is necessary to help look for any American missing in Ecuador - contact me.  I'll do everything I can.  

     

  • Teri Holycross

    I would like to post my information regarding my Search and Rescue Tean on your resource list but I don't know how.  Can you tell me how.

    Thank you

    Hey Jeff,

    I was just hoping on your next webpage update you could put a share on Facebook link.  I can't really comment at the sadness that goes on and on, but maybe we could get the word  out a little more on Facebook.  Hats off to your work.

     

  • jose campos

    Hi Jeff, I really think we need to do something with the SARK9 Ops in Central America, or even in Latin America, for me that´s the key as timing in response of missing people.... Thanks.
  • Carole Moore

    Thanks, Jeff. I want to feature Joe in the story I am writing for a magazine that is distributed to business travelers (and those who have been relocated in other countries by their businesses) around the world. I am also looking for individuals who have gone missing in other countries while there on business, if you know of anyone interested in a brief interview. It's a good chance to get some eyes on their stories, but I have to do the interviews very early next week to get them in.
  • Samantha Zinnel

    I live in Alabama and Natalie Holloway was a big deal, but I didn't realize the extent of this problem until researching it after seeing Gone about Aeryn Gillern.  I was outraged by his story as a mother myself and was so angry with the treatment his case and mother got by the Austrian officials.  I want to do something to raise awareness.  I am looking into awareness ribbons, is red or green the color for the ribbon?

  • Bill Markunas

    Hey Jeff, got an NJ phone; technical difficulties with old one. I was up North; back in Middlesex. give me a holler or text at 732-692-3694. Have a cup of coffee and discuss actioin items for MAP.

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

    Sure!  Happy to help others because I will never forget that empty and helpless feeling.

    Got a message from Stacey who is no longer a member.  Why, is she legitimate?

  • Michael Kluznik

    Bob skippered the boat I was on in Sicily a couple of years ago.  Nice guy.  I'm so sorry to hear about his disappearance.

    Happy New Year to you and your family!

    Hi Jeff;

    Yes & since I asked to join, we found out he is in prison in Dubai for taking photos in a restricted area. We were in touch with the Embassy who located him for us. He is an architect by trade (now a motivational speaker) who travels all over the world speaking.

    He loves walking & taking pictures, esp. of interesting, architecturally, buildings. We know need to find how to get him released.

  • Eunice Goetz

    Thanks Jeff, for the welcome.
