How in the world did we talk up 4 threads when we have absolutely no other info than what we read JR reported? This case has me captivated, and I don't know why.
There's an interview here with a mother who went with her daughter to a Mexican resort --- mother is very lucky her daughter made it home...scary scary stuff.

Where is Jenny Chen???
:candle:
I think the shopkeepers at Laguna Crossing are shady. I say this because they had a man driving from two hours away to transport Jenny to Cancun at no cost... a 20 hour trip one way. Who does that?
Even if the Corona driver was legit and picked her up with no bad intentions, that doesn't mean this other fellow didn't catch up to them, make a bargain with the Corona driver, and took Jenny. We really don't know and unless a PI stakes out the shop in Lagunas Crossing for an extended period of time to determine trends and patterns, we will never know. Therefore, we will never know.

Just to say, the Lagunas on that map isn't the Lagunas where the truck stop is. That's to the right of where the map says Oaxaca. Also, I don't know that the driver promised to take her to Cancun (unlikely a truck would go that far). She'd likely be happy just to get to the east of Veracruz, to find her next overnight/ride.
I recall reading she needed to find an ATM to withdraw more cash, yet haven't heard anything about whether she ever did. Seems to me, someone could have tried to rob her, a tourist would be presumed to be carrying cash.
Mexico -- Two kidnapped Americans from Texas were rescued near the northern city of Monterrey and their two alleged abductors arrested, Mexican authorities reported.
The Nuevo Leon prosecutors' office said Sunday in a statement that the victims traveled to the state on Feb. 17, and lost contact with their families in the United States the following day. On Feb. 19, the relatives began to receive ransom demands.
The unidentified Texans were rescued by members of a special anti-kidnapping unit Saturday in the Monterrey suburb of Juarez, thanks to a tip that led them to locate the alleged kidnappers on a highway.
Who does that? indeed. They must have really generous friends or else said friend was going to Cancun anyway. We know Jenny certainly wouldnt have offered him anything. Was this friend ever interviewed? JR seems inclined to accept the story told by the shopkeepers. He believed the person who saw Jenny in Mexico City last year too FWIW. Good old Dexter has always been suspicious of the shopkeepers.
Of course, we do have the missing time/GPS location on the Corona truck log, the truck being quickly sold and the driver panicking during the lie detector test. But that could all be explained if he turned Jenny over to the shopkeepers friend. As you say, we will never know.
I don't think the shopkeepers were in cahoots with the corona driver. I theorized that the driver they had coming from 2 hours away may have tracked down the corona truck and took Jenny. I also think people are strange, and sometimes to point the finger away from themselves they will volunteer information that they know can be found from someone else. In this case, the cement truck driver said he dropped Jenny off at Laguna's Crossing, so the shopkeepers were already fingered (in a way). Does that line of thought even make sense?
BBMI think the missing GPS truck tracking data, and the missing truck, mean that Jenny was in that truck, as per the Lagunas Crossing family’s testimony. Logic would have the police locate the truck and test it forensically for evidence of Jenny having been in it. There is no report of this having been done. Beyond that, I don’t have any thoughts as to what other wrinkles there could be in the case.
