I have the MS Word doc we made the PDF from if someone can edit it into spanish, although I'm not sure how to upload it here I could place it on their
website for download, in fact I will do that as soon as I hit submit.
Tim
P.S. I have placed the link on the site for word doc but thought I would post the link here as well.

I must say I am impressed with how well people have come together on this board. I stayed away for awhile because there was someone named JR something
that made things miserable. But, the way people are so willing to help here really gives me inspiration. I have been following this situation (as well
as Cythia Jeffries') very closely and keeping my fingers crossed.
I just wonder if these two bought a weeks worth of insurance because it was the same price or cheaper than 2 or 3 days and figured they might as
well do it in case they needed it. But, after a couple days in Baja, they decided to head to Burning Man instead. After checking the BM website, it
seems impossible to reach anyone out there.
The other interesting point is that they returned to Escondido when banks are not only available in Mexico, but her particular branch is available
so much closer to the border. This makes me think they were returning for something other than money. Camping equipment? Clothing?
I have been checking multiple sites regularly for any updated information. I really hope things turn out well as I travel that way with my girl all
the time. I am a San Marcos native so this really hits home; they are near my age and my compadres for sure. My eyes are peeled in the North County
and I have let everyone in the hospital I work at know about the situation. My best hopes are that Mat and Melissa are going to feel terrible about
not checking in!

Missing persons
I put up a poster at the PEMEX, the big grocery store on the highway and the military checkpoint. Also at Restaurant Kadakaaman, by the mission. The
man at the PEMEX said an old red convertible went by yesterday (Friday) southbound, but he thought it was a VW. Thanks, BajaBlanca for the heads up.

Everyone that has done anything on this by putting up flyers or contacting Mexican Governmental Agencies like Juanita has please post so we know what
has been done and where. I am returning on Tuesday and will hit many government office's in TJ, Rosirito, and Ensenada. Those of you in San Felipe
please put up a flyer at the Ministerio Publico and the Semefo and DIF. That woud be great! We also need flyers at hospitals.
Lets keep going on this friends.

ok, so let me say THANK YOU for everything you guys have been doing. just wanted to give you guys an updated timeline from the begining until now.
*mat and melissa were seen crossing back into the U.S. from Mexico at the San Ysidro border on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 8:30am
*melissa was seen at her bank in Escondido at 9:52am on Monday, August 23, 2010
*mat also went to either a bank or ATM that same monday morning.
*they were then seen at 12:48pm Monday, August 23, 2010 buy a 7 day pass of mexico insurance for melissa's car.
so that tells us that they went back into Mexico. and that is the last thing we have heard anything.
I want to THANK all of you on here that have been our eyes and ears over there. it means so much to me and our family.
i will let you know if we find out anything else.

Hello everyone! i am looking for all the Baja norte jails in each city. would anyone happen to know any of the names or how i would contact them? i am

just a thought here....do you or are you accompanied by a spanish speaking person...preferably mexicano? You will get much more accomplished and get
better cooperation if you have a national doing the enquiring.
If not...perhaps seek assistance from someone here...good luck. Jail is a possibility...maybe they had a car accident and got put in there...they dont
necessarily give you a phone call.

J, my heart goes out to you, your brother looks like a teddy bear - big yet kind and his smile shows his good humor.
why do you suppose they walked over the border to get cash? this makes no sense to me whatsoever. #1, why not bring the car? Its a long, hot walk over
those border crossings. #2, there are many ATMs in Tijuana. While you can spend US dollars in Tijuana/Ensenada, many tourists prefer to withdraw from
Mexican ATMS to get the fair intl exchange rate. #3 insurance can be purchased cheaply and easily on the MX side of border as well.
Do you think its possible they had the car taken from them by authorities in Baja for not having Mexican insurance? Alot of americans have no clue
when they come down here that they will need a seperate auto policy. There are also many crooked cops near border in Tijuana who love to mess with
tourists and may have threatened them with jail unless they handed over a "fine". I have heard of fines from anywhere btw 40-500 bucks being paid
directly to crooked cops.

Insurance isn't "required" in Mexico. It's just worse than foolish not to have at least liability.
The story goes, they crossed on foot into Mexico for unknown reasons, then walked back to the states, driving up to their bank in Escondido.
From that point on, nobody is sure where they want although they purchased a Mexican insurance policy.
There are ATMs everywhere. If the area is big enough for a chain super market, they have them.
It would be interesting to know, if possible, how much cash they carried with them. That would give an idea how long they could survive without
hitting another ATM.
That would be a god-send of information if they withdrew money in Mexico.

I don't drive, so I wouldn't know. I have heard stories about the bribes/insurance though.
