"The insurance expired today at 12:48pm"
---------------------

They could easily have bought more insurance here. Hope that's the case.

Per the posting on the website dated August 29th:
--

Missing and last seen Monday, Aug 23 at 8:32am crossing the border from Mexico to the US and a subsequent sighting in Escondido at 9:52am Monday Aug 23.

We have just heard and confimed that on Monday, August 23, Melissa bought 7 days of Mexican Insurance at 12:48pm which means after they went to the bank in Escondido they traveled back to San Ysidro and we have to now assume they crossed the border and are somewhere in Mexico. We are told by the insurance agent they mentioned going to the beaches in baja.

The insurance expired today at 12:48pm and they have not crossed back as far as we know and although it gives us some good indication of where they are it raises additional concerns because of the wide spread violence and kidnappings that are routine in Baja.


Mat Vasquez DOB - 4/4/1980 Ht. 5’10” Wt. 180 Black Hair, Brown Eyes
Melissa Dixon DOB – 12/27/1979 Ht. 5’10” Wt. 120 Light Brown, Blue Eyes

It is presumed that Mat and Melissa are driving in Melissa’s 1990 Red Miata Convertible, license plate # 4SQR528. The rear window is broken out.

If you know their whereabouts or have seen either of them please immediately call Detective Beverly Marquez at Escondido Police Dept. at 760-839-4752.

Please also call the following numbers if unable to call Det. Marquez.
760-828-6190 or 209-815-8237

Don't really want to sound like a crank, but geez. It doesn't take a triple digit IQ to ponder the notion that they came back NOB to get money. Given that, they are probably driving a 20 year old Miata with a rear window broken out. Sounds like fun to me. Apologies to those who are worrying.

Possibly crossed the border on foot to get visas......drove back to Escondido getting there after the bank opened, then drove back south.

Since they can confirm the purchase of Mexican insurance, I wonder if the type of car insured is available?

DC- I'm wrong more often than I'd like to admit. But, it appears to me that they had insurance when they first crossed over. ( Lotsa connotations for that) But, you well know that so many people consider going to Baja for hijinks. Bottom line is that I wish no ill toward anyone, with the possible exception of GWB.

MISSING PERSONS


there could be alot of different reasons why they went into Mexico. The whole point of this is to find them no matter what they decided to do and make sure they are in good health and alive. Thats really all we want to hear from them or anyone. This is out of the ordinary for both of them. They both had good jobs, melissa had been there for 5 years, and mat had been there for about 4 months now and just received his benefits. Mat and I (his sister) are very close, and for him to go this long and not call me or to talk to his niece and nephew who he adores is very unusual. It's not knowing anything that is so hard to deal with, your mind goes in all kinds of directions. Like I said, we just want to know if they are ok and safe. PLEASE, PLEASE pass it along and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mat and Melissa like to have fun, they like all kinds of music, they both like to go to the bars and drink beer. I don't know if Melissa has been to Mexico, but my brother has and he knows all the bars and where to hang out. My brother has been to Rosarito before so he knows his way around and where to go.
just some info on them. let me know if you need anymore

Showed the flyer to a few beat cops on Benito Juarez in Rosarito this afternoon via my Iphone and they have said they will pass the information at the next Officer's line up.
I also kept an eye out for an Miatta driving on or near by the beach area looking for the vehicle with no luck. Please call (619) 531-2000 and ask to speak to the SDPD Law Enforcement Officer in charge of Mexico liason.
Also ask the if the plate counter was working at the Port's of entry. This will let you know if they crossed back into Mexico.
Meanwhile I will continue to keep an eye peeled!
Have faith they look like a couple of smart kids.

Big question please take no offense; Did they use street narcotics?

If they were in jail, the first visit they'll get is from the American Consulate and they'll make phone calls for them. So...I guess you can rule that out.

Someone would need to inform the consulate. Doesn't always happen.
