From the FBI's website:
On the night of March 30, 2007, an unidentified man was seen and photographed with Dana Rishpy, an Israeli National, at the Mezzanine Hotel in Tulum, Mexico. Dana Rishpy has not been seen since that night. The FBI and Israeli National Police are seeking the public's assistance with identifying the man in the photographs shown below. This information could help in locating Dana Rishpy and/or provide new information about her disappearance.
This individual is wanted for questioning regarding the disappearance of Dana Rishpy. He is described as a White male with a thin build. He appears to be either North American or possibly Australian. He is not a fugitive from the law.
If you have any information concerning this person, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
Thoughts? Dana's case was a web-exclusive on AMW's old website which is why I'm placing this in the missing on tv section.
There seems to be some confusion as to why this is an FBI case when Dana was an Israeli/German citizen and disappeared in Mexico, meaning not even where she disappeared has to do with the U.S. Even the Charley Project is confused. My best guess as someone is half-Jewish is that because of the long friendship the U.S. has had and tries to maintain with Israel they agreed to help them out. Other guesses of mine: they fear she may have been a victim of one of the Mexican drug gangs that have men also wanted by U.S. authorities or they think she may have been kidnapped by someone from North America. But those would only be guesses.
According to the Let's Find Them blog, a homeless man came forward a few years later to claim he witnessed Dana's murder. However, the case is apparently still unsolved as of this posting.
I realize no one is complaining about Dana being on the FBI's page but are just confused by their jurisdiction, but regardless of the reason, let's hope one day this case can be solved for Dana's family, and please do contact the FBI if you have any information you think may help.
