... Jonathan Reinhardt is carrying the giant portrait of his wife, who disappeared last year in the state of Oaxaca, in Southern Mexico. He too "has no fear anymore" since his wife "has become a photo printed on a plastic banner" which he unfurls as soon as he can. This American, the lone foreigner in the caravan, doesn't speak a word of Spanish. His wife, Jenny Chen, a Chinese national, disappeared in the isthmus of Tehuantepec, one of the regions most affected by organized crime. "I reported her missing, but the Mexican police has done absolutely nothing," he says. "I've investigated myself, with the help of a private investigator". The investigator followed Jenny's trail [leads]and managed to identify a suspect. Implicated by a lie detector and GPS data, the man was released after questioning. "Jenny is young, pretty, Chinese, she could have attracted the attention of pimps [traffickers]", concludes the Seattle resident, [financially] ruined by months of investigating and trips to and from Mexico. "I have to search from there [Seattle], but alone it's very difficult."
