Parents of Student Missing In Costa Rica May
Hire Private Eye
As the search for
David Gimelfarb, the Chicago man missing in
Costa Rica nears the three-week mark, the
family is preparing to hire a private
investigator.
Gimelfarb's friend Christine Shaw says
David's parents are about to take a new step
in their search for their only child, who
disappeared August 11 in Costa Rica.
"David's parents are looking into hiring a
private investigator. They're starting from
a list that was given to them by the U-S
embassy in Costa Rica."
David Gimelfarb's parents have been in Costa
Rica since the week David disappeared.
The Cruz Roza (Costa Rican Red Cross) had
been among the first on the scene at the
national park where Gimelfarb had stopped to
go hiking. Red Cross rescue workers had
numbered more than 100.
The Cruz Roja pulled out of the search
earlier this week.
"It feels like the search is kind of moved
to sort of a different level, which is a
little bit scary."
Shaw says the Gimelfarbs want an
investigator to go back over the path their
son took from Chicago to Costa Rica - then
into the park that day, August 11.
Shaw says she still believes David could be
alive.
"We're not giving up hope yet," she says. |
