QCOSTARICA – It’s been four weeks since Ryan Piercy went missing. Today, all we know about Ryan’s disappearance is it’s still a mystery.
According to the latest information by the Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) digging into Ryan’s finances, that although he lived a unostentaious life, he held a bank account with one million dollars.
Investigators say that Ryan is named in some 70 corporations, his wife named in nine, all part of the business located in Paseo Colón, San José.
That’s it.
The family is not talking, as they continue to maintain guarded silence. The same with colleagues.
There has been speculation as to what happened to Ryan. Theories range from being kidnapped to a “self disappearance”. There has been talk about a ransom demand. One online Spanish language newspaper said kidnappers are asking US$500.000 dollars, to be paid in bitcoin, for Ryan’s return.
More speculation. The same source said Ryan’s son, Alejandro, has been kidnapped. This was debunked shortly after its publication, but, in the past week or so, sources close to the Q have lost touch with Alejandro, feeding once again speculation that he is kidnapped. Or he has joined his father.
