Multiple sources, including friends, now confirm a rough timeline of his movements before he went missing.

They said he arrived in Mexico City on the night of Feb. 16 and then took an Uber to his Airbnb. A friend provided ABC13 with photos of his belongings left behind in the room.

At about 11:30 p.m., John Gamboa reportedly went to Montana's Disco and Bar alone. According to his friends, that's his last known location.

A missing person's flyer has since surfaced from La Fiscalia General de Justicia, Mexico's attorney general's office.

Retired FBI agent Jim Conway said the feds can't conduct investigations in Mexico but use liaisons to communicate with authorities.

FG said her son is a five-year Air Force veteran. She also said he gave her a double bone marrow transplant when she had cancer, which is a testament, she said, to what kind of man he is.

"He sacrificed himself just to extend my life," she said.

Where Montana's is located (Jaurez) is a safe area of Mexico City. It's the business district and where the nicest hotels (Four Seasons, Ritz, Sofitel, St. Regis). It's the center of the city with lots of tourists and Expats. I hope he is found soon.
