    Does anyone have any new info on the disapperence of Ryan Piercy. I have not been able to find anything new for several days in English or Spanish news. Strange situation!!!

    No new information, due to a news ‘blackout’ so we are still hoping for a good outcome.

    My gut feeling tells me that there is some sort of a news blackout in effect with regards to this tragic event. I would not like to speculate more …

    Since this is an ongoing investigation and a very disturbing state of affairs for the families involved I would ask that we are very careful and respectful with what we say here in this thread.

    There has been more news but I am really uncomfortable posting this here while this is an ongoing investigation.

    Ryan Piercy has been released and he is safe, I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of news on this story tomorrow…

    Spanish speakers can read the [url=http://www.nacion.com/sucesos/seguridad/Familia-pago-liberacion-canadiense_0_1471652845.html]La Nacion article[/url] about Ryan Piercy here.

    Must confess that it’s a strange story and now a well publicized international incident with many unanswered questions and, I hope for his family’s sake that this has a happy conclusion and that the police are able to round up and convict the guilty parties otherwise, we could see some copycats coming along which really would be catastrophic.

    Your 100% correct about this. If this seems like a profitable criminal venture.. then you know these events could very well escalate.

    I hope this is not the case

    A tip.. for people moving down here

    do NOT look like you come from money and keep your american opinions to yourself

    It does not matter if you are a legal resident or not and you pay taxes.. etc

    A very serious situation indeed copycat kidnapping is sure to follow. – but despite this appalling event I had to laugh at the Google translate version of the story. Not 100%? I’d say 50-60% is closer Even with my lousy Spanish the original version read much better. About the same as other flawed translators.

    Thank goodness that google translate poorly.. because this same weakness I exploit using sites translated in Spanish 🙂

    Well, as my husband Chris used to say “As a married man I can’t sit down to the meal but it sure doesn’t mean I can’t read the menu!”
