02/24/10 — The family of Joseph McStay, father and husband of the missing Fallbrook, CA family, has contacted Texas EquuSearch and requested assistance is finding the missing family of four. We have been in touch with San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, who have welcomed EquuSearch’s assistance. We are in the process of mapping and conducting reconnaissance, with the aid of one of our drone airplanes, owned and operated by RP Flight Systems. We anticipate the arrival of a team in California on Friday, February 26, 2010.

I THINK THEY WERE KIDNAPPED BY PEOPLE IN MEXICO, AND THAT THEY CROSSED THE BORDER, NOT ON THEIR OWN, LOOK AT THE 48 HOURS TAPE OF THE MAN WHO WAS KEPT IN A BOX FOR 7 MONTHS FROM PEOPLE IN MEXICO, THAT KIDNAP PEOPLE AND HOLD THEM FOR RANSOM. I REALLY THINK THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. I THINK THEY WERE STOPPED IN THEIR CAR, AND SOMEONE DROVE THEM TO THE BORDER AND LEFT THEIR CAR THERE.
WHEN YOU USE YOUR FAMILY AS A DECOY TO LAUNDER MONEY TO MEXICO
WITH A CHILD CARRIER STRAPPED TO YOUR CHEST…. YOUR HEALTH IS IN SERIOUS RISK.

This story has the potential to become one of the most perplexing cases of the decade. I agree with the consensus regarding Mexico being one of the worst places in the world to go missing. I, too, think the family was likely forceably made to enter that country. What does not fit is the idea that they would be held for ransom. People are kidnapped every day–but it is totally tragic when children are involved. A new look into this case is needed, with media being alerted on the day the McStays went missing, now to be 3 years ago.
