PRESS RELEASE: Update on the search for Jenny Chen, missing in Mexico since April 12, 2016
September 26, 2016
Oaxaca, Mexico
Contact: Jonathan Reinhard (phone, email)
Jenny Chen, a Chinese permanent resident of the U.S. living in Seattle, disappeared in Oaxaca on April 12 of this year, near the end of a two month solo trip in Mexico. According to her husband, Jonathan Reinhard, efforts to locate her and follow leads have been stalled or blocked in a number of ways, despite the efforts of his private investigator and his attorney Everardo Moreno in Mexico.
En route to meet her husband in Cancun on April 15, Jenny is known to have hitched a ride on April 11 on a cement truck from the city of Oaxaca, arriving at Lagunas Crossing on highway 185 sometime after midnight on April 12. A kind shopkeeper took her in for the night and arranged for a trusted friend to drive Jenny to Cancun. Jenny decided to hitchhike and was last seen accepting a ride by a driver delivering Corona beer. There has been no sign of her or activity on her bank account since. The shopkeeper is of the opinion that the truck driver "meant to bring harm to Jenny."
The names of two Corona drivers passing the Lagunas Crossing area on highway 185 are known. The police have promised to bring them in for polygraphs and take action against them, but have not done so. The drivers have refused polygraphs and made statements later shown to be untrue.
Corona, distributed by Grupo Modelo which is owned by Anheuser Busch (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grupo_Modelo) and the contract truck company Kugar (
http://www.kugar.com.mx/quienes_somos_en.html) have provided the GPS logs of both drivers to Jenny's husband and his private investigator. The logs do not show that either driver stopped at Lagunas Crossing, however there is an unexplained eight hour gap in the log of one truck at the time Jenny disappeared. It appears that this period of time was deleted from the system. True GPS data can only be obtained with Corona's permission from the U.S. GPS company Omnitracs, headquartered in Texas (
http://www.omnitracs.com). Corona has not granted permission.
The truck that most likely picked up Jenny was sold just before Reinhard's private investigator arrived to inspect it and has not been located.
Jenny's husband, Jonathan Reinhard says, "I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I absolutely feel like I am getting the runaround from ALL involved parties."
Reinhard maintains a Facebook group dedicated to finding his wife.
