Have you lost a friend or family member outside the U.S.?
Yes
If yes, in what country or area was the person last seen?
Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
What is your interest in the Missing Americans Project?
Adding my son to the list. Getting the word out to travelers , and making people aware that in Costa Rica the OJA and the police do not investigate crimes unless it is a "IN YOUR FACE" , "Who done it" crime. The police do not investigate a crime unless they know for sure who committed that crime. This keeps their ratio of solved cases at a positive rate, maintaining safe tourism to their country. Make travelers aware of the hidden crime in the area. If an american goes missing, THEY DO NOT CARE OR LOOK FOR THAT PERSON WITH MUCH INTEREST. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW: DO NOT TRAVEL ALONE.
Do you wish to be contacted directly by The Missing Americans Project? If so, please provide best way of reaching you below.
No… I just now need to figure out how to add my son to the missing person list.

Welcome to MAP.. I'm sorry your son has gone missing.. Costa Rica is not the haven/heaven their tourist board wants everyone to think it is... You can get your son onto the list here if you want to start a page for him.. or just add his name, pictures and details to your page. You don't say when he went missing... but his details should be reported to the FBI and the American Consulate closest to where he went missing... also, we were told to report it to the local police department in his hometown in the US...
There is also a group here for Persons Missing in Costa Rica... if you leave them a message, they may have more information for you... Message Jeff Dunsavage, he started this group and has many connections that might help.
