Authorities have launched a search for a New York man missing in Mexico.
Harry Devert, 32, a former financial trader from Westchester County went missing while on a motorcycle trip in Mexico last month.
Devert's loved ones described him as a consummate world traveler and said he last contacted his girlfriend on January 25th to say the Mexican military was escorting him out of an area, Michoacán, that was too dangerous and that he would contact her later.
"I don't know if he's been kidnapped, I don't know if he skidded off the road, I don't know what's happened to this master communicator who has gone off the grid," said his mother, Ann Devert. She said her son had planned to write a book about his trip and that when he was last heard from he was in an area that is said to be dangerous and controlled by a drug cartel.
Devert's family said American and Mexican authorities are working to find him. Devert's friends have also set up a Facebook page titled "Help Find Harry" to aid in the search.
