Dana Rishpy, 24
An Israeli college student named Dana Rishpy disappeared two years ago during a trip to Mexicos Riviera Maya and now her family has traveled to Houston to attempt to find a family of good Samaritan tourists who might be the last people to have seen their daughter alive.
Rispys parents, Dania and Dror, believe that a family from the Willowbrook area in Houston tried to help a woman resembling their daughter, after the family found her unconscious and apparently drugged in a roadway in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, in early April 2007. But then a man who claimed to be her boyfriend took her away, the family has told authorities.
Finding the Houston family wont be easy since the Rispys have no names or good descriptions. But the missing person unit at the Harris County Sheriffs Office has offered to help.
The family of tourists, which included a mother and father, two older daughters and two sons, apparently was visiting Mexico on a cruise ship that docked in Playa Del Carmen in April 2007, according to Harris County Sheriffs Capt. John Martin.
The family might be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the youngest son, who was about 14 in 2007, may have Down syndrome. Witnesses say the family took the girl they found to a beach restaurant and gave her ice and water and tried to revive her. But later Mexican tourist police released the girl to a man who claimed to be her fiance or boyfriend.
Dana Rishpy traveled to Mexico for a break in March 2007 after visiting the United States to look for graduate schools. While there, she accepted the invitation of an American to stay at a cabaña in Tulum, a smaller beach town south of Playa del Carmen on the Yucatan Peninsula, according to witnesses and e-mails she sent her family. She was seen by many people at a party in Tulum in late March but then disappeared.
