This effort to recruit the kindness and assistance of our group here has just been reduced to a bullchit scam, in my opinion.

Lets not jump to conclusions just yet. People do strange things under stress and asking for donations is no indicator of a scam.
Dennis could be perfectly right but I also read that one of the missing's father's chartered a plane and went searching for the girls car. I don't
know where but if I was him I would have taken that charter money and physically went looking myself. You can see a lot more from the ground.
There again, everyone is different so let's look at this as "real" until we hear otherwise.
Just my 2 cents.

jmendez -
You probably have tried this, Burning Man has a radio station that can broadcast emergency info to burners on the playa or off. They could broadcast
an alert for you. www.bmir.org/

I am Melissa's father, Tim Dixon, and my daughter, my only child, is missing and I am worried sick about her and we are also very worried for Mat as
well. If you can help us because you have contacts down there, we are forever in your debt, but we are not out to scam anyone for anything, nor am I
asking anyone for any monetary help.
Thank you,
Tim Dixon

Thank you FishAbductor. It has been a very trying week, we have hardly slept since last wednesday when we discovered them missing and have searched
tirelessly from here (Oceanside) to the border. We did not know they went south until this past monday and have directed all our efforts that way
since then, and we are very appreciative to have your eyes looking out for them.

money from their banks, he said.

Just out of curiosity.... was the Mexican auto insurance purchased before they withdrew funds from the
bank in Escondido, or after they withdrew the funds?
Had they already bought the insurance with a prior intention of heading back south, or did they in fact head back south and then buy insurance to
cross the border with?
Just something I was considering in reading this.

im sorry for the confusion regarding the posting of the donations....that was only intended for our family members, and was posted on here
accidently. All we ask for is your continued support and help in finding Mat and Melissa. Thank you for everyone that has given any tips or
suggestions.

Had they crossed back to the States, there would be a record...No?

Here is what we know. Sunday aug 22, they were seen together by a mutual friend watching the football game. At 8:32am monday morning (aug 23) they
crossed on foot out of Mexico at San Ysidro. At 9:52am Melissa withdrew $700 from her bank in Escondido and at 12:48pm they bought the 7 days of
insurance.
So the last anyone actually saw them was monday, Aug 23 at 12:48pm at the insurance agency in San Ysidro.

If they cross back, US Customs is on the lookout for them, and so far they have not.

Just to let you all know that this is not a scam. These two young people are actually missing so if you are inclined to help download and print the
flyer and get it out there. Put it up at your local Pemex station and anywhere else you can think of.
I just got off the phone with Joanna and she is for real. Now we have three missing and their relatives really need your help. I know what I would do
if one of mine was missing in Baja- I would ask for your help also.
My wiskers are grey but I also have a big heart and you guys have one to.
