This is an account of a father''s attempts to discover what has happened to his son, who disappeared in the Darien Gap Jungle in Panama, in Central America.

Just how do you go about finding out what has happened to someone six thousand miles away in a Spanish-speaking country?

After 9 months, it was resolved, free of any ransom demand, probably by direct contact with the guerrilla group, FARC, itself.

When the two adventurers were released, the parents, Brian and Anne Winder, heard of ransom demands of $2.000,000 each which never reached them, and man
