Here is what we know:
1. She was last in phone contact and on Facebook around July 7.
2. She was last in Mazunte and left that area by July 23 - last seen a few days earlier so we are saying July 20.
3. She was with an American named Peter, leaving in a VAN.
4. There was some chatter that he was working on visas, which suggests Guatemala.
5. They said they were leaving for "Guatemala or the US" - a little vague.

Thank you!
Thank you for the timeline update. I hope she is just having a good vacation but it is better to look for her and find that she is just off the grid. At least if she is only trying to be offline, she will see these pages and know how many people care about her and just want to hear that she is all good.
ReplyDeleteIf she entered Mexico on Feb. 20th her Visa/ Tourist Card expired on Aug. 19th (180 days max.). You might check with Mexican Inmigracion to see if she has actually left the country and at what port of entry/exit. This will also give a direction of her travels. Possible "best bets" are hotels & youth hangouts in Puerto Escondido or Pinotepa Nacional. That area of Oaxaca is not the best in which to travel alone, especially as a single woman. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteIt might be worth it to make a trip in person to the Mexican Consul (I think that's what it's called) on the frontage road between Cheshire Bridge and North Druid Hills. I know you say you've contacted the Embassy, but meeting with someone in person might get the wheels turning a little more/faster. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
