What the Phuck is wrong with this newspaper? They listed “Rincón de la Vieja” visitors name and country were there from. I will hate to be one of those married folks trying to hide that I just visit CR.

Investigator seeks witnesses to Gimelfarb's hike

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff


The parents of a missing U.S. tourist are not giving up, and they have hired an investigator to continue
efforts to find their son.

The investigator, Seth Derish, said Tuesday that the parents have returned to Costa Rica from Illinois and were with him near Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja. That is where the man, David Gimelfarb, 28, vanished Aug. 11 after he went hiking.

His disappearance prompted an extensive

search by the Cruz Roja. Even U.S. crewmen and their helicopters from Soto Cano air base in Honduras joined in without success.

Derish is taking a more investigatory approach. He is talking to people trying to find those who may have seen the U.S. hiker. He also is running down what may be false information. He also has obtained a list of tourists who were at the park on the day that Gimelfarb vanished. He asked that it be published and that anyone on the list contact him.

Many of the visitors are from Europe, according to the information they left in the park's guest book where the names were found. The list is not believed to be a complete accounting of all who were at the park that day.

Derish can be reached in Costa Rica at 506 2269-8659 or US Direct at 415 648-7007. An associate, Carlos Valverde, can be reached at 506 8381-3884.

Gimelfarb, who grew up in Highland Park, Illinois, was a doctoral student at the Adler School of Professional Psychology. The Chicago school is maintaining a fund for searching.

Friends have created a Facebook section with information on the search and developments. For example, friends posted the fact that Cruz Roja rescue workers who were called back to the park discovered that a shadow in one of the volcano craters was nothing more than a piece of red foam. The shadow turned up on a searcher's photograph and raised hopes that Gimelfarb might finally be found.

An Oklahoma non-profit organization called Global ResQ also joined the search, friends said.

Several persons who signed on to the Facebook discussion list were former visits to the Rincón de la Vieja park which is north and east of Liberia and straddles the line between Guanacaste and Alajuela.

Well you just listed them again :roll:
I read the paper this morning and if I am correct( not often) the list came from visitors who signed the guest book at the park entrance
So here is a tip for the members with things to hide
They gave up on the seach a week or so back and turned it over to the Buzzards :oops:
Sad but true

My name is in that book, though not for the dates in question. However, I fail to see how this is really the serious invasion of privacy thing that you seem to make it out to be. I seriously doubt most people who are taking secret trips to CR are spending their time going on hikes like that one (show of hands, how many of you guys have done it?). And people who ARE spending their time going on hikes in CR like that shouldn't have any reason to hide the fact. After all, I'd much rather have people think that was the type of thing I was doing in CR rather than spending all my time mongering in the Gulch. "Hey wifey, you don't believe I go to CR for the ecotourism? Well, here's the proof." And this all assumes that the investigators are even able to read most of the chicken scratch signatures in that book.

BTW, I've hiked to the top of Rincon de la Vieja solo and could easily see how someone could stumble off the trail, accidentally injure or kill themselves and not be immediately found. It can get quite cold and foggy up there and the wind can be strong enough to blow you off the trail. In fact, it is normally recommended to re-assess the weather conditions once you reach the timberline and not proceed if it seems too dangerous.

One of the first mongering lessons I learned was NEVER leave a paper trail; never give out your cell; don’t allow photographs; and be quiet about what you do.
