Right. Family court records in Idaho involving minor children are sealed as a matter of law and therefore not public records. I imagine that’s similar to other states, but I only know about Idaho.
Mexican banks have ATMs just like here: so you can withdraw pesos from the visa card.
Guess she already had her passport for the european trip on her person, that's handy. What about him I wonder? Did he already have a passport, or was there a planning element involved in the escape to Mexico?
I am amazed they have been able to stay under the radar so long, especially since the three are so easily identifiable. Perhaps they have replaced the Cadillac with another vehicle and perhaps someone is assisting them. If they have an escape plan, it seems they would require a bundle of cash to carry it out.
Wonder perhaps if he might have more than one identity or name that he might use? MOO
It's easy peasy getting cash in Mexico but the problem for them is using a card of any sort leaves a paper trail. Even a seemingly anonymous Visa gift card would eventually help catch them.
Say, if I purchased $2000 worth of visa gift cards at a CVS... can I just get cash at a Mexican ATM? In pesos or dollars? (Regular visa yes of course you can. But these gift cards work differently.)
True. But many are thinking they are trying to make a new life there. Isn’t it possible they did a quick justice of the peace marriage in the states and are enjoying a short honeymoon getaway at a resort, pre paid perhaps under a different name? Caddie parked in a garage so not visible to anyone. All food and drinks covered. Just need money for gas to get there and back home at some point? Still, surely they must know what they’d be facing upon return to the US but sometimes anger and Adrenalin overrules common sense.
MOO They have help.
Yes, that and / or….. the longer it goes they might encounter some unfortunate circumstance. The young child is at risk, even not including health concerns. And unfortunately it does seem they are a simple mark and if traveling in the vehicle. Someone might want the vehicle alone and perhaps little else? MOO
I haven't ever used prepaid visa, but I met someone travelling in Mexico who did, mostly to stay within their budget, I think. Prepaid visas apparently work exactly like regular ones, everywhere visa is accepted.
I'm wondering if the constipation thing was that she took the child to the dr for constipation and all is now well (ie treatment was delivered, and worked) but the dr mentioned when discussing all possible issues that bad constipation that isn't resolved can result in sepsis as a worst case scenario - not that the child was ever actually at risk of that. Constipation in children who are toilet training isn't uncommon, after all. As others have mentioned I find it super hard to believe any medical professional looking at an imminent case of sepsis resulting from bowel impaction would let the child go home
Spot on. JMO
