What we know..

Owns aquarium/pet store in Matamoros, MX, and disappeared during the battles between the Mexican military and the Gulf Cartels and Zetas in that city, beginning on Nov.5, 2010. US Consulate has only ascertained that he is not in any hospital in that city or surrounding cities, and nothing more. They say they are not able to do any searching themselves but must rely on the Mexican authorities.

Did you speak with Coryn or an aide?

Wow! I didn't know Hutchinson was still around. How long has she been senator? Since the 80s, no?

Deb - Adriana seems to be getting some attention at one or both of your senators' offices. You should hook up with her and get both of your networks tag teaming the senators. They are your elected employees, and the consulates will just run you in circles if you can't get the senators engaged. If you can get a meeting with the senators, that's news. If you can't get a meeting, it's something Farrah might be able to make something out of, get them on record. To paraphrase a famous Texan, "Either you're with us...." 

Put up a blog post here with your senators' phone numbers (we've got a growing Texas membership) and post the numbers on the MAP Facebook page.

Well I have been out of touch with everyone for a week now. Does anyone think in the week I was away anyone from the Consulates office called to leave a message?   NOT. Their staying in touch with the familys only mean that if I call them they will talk to me, otherwise how is it the old saying goes ...out of site out of mind!!!!   Well come Monday you can bet the phone will be ringing.

Debbie, we're all so glad you're ok.  Continued prayers are coming your way.
Comment by Deborah Parks on January 14, 2011 at 9:18pm
Well they let me out of the hospital tonight but just wanted to let you all know that it will take me a bit of time but am not giving up on finding my son. Thanks for the prayers.
