...told him I'd get in touch again, and called a few days later to say there was an urgent need to meet." The men never did re-establish contact and on Jan. 26 - less than two weeks later - Mittal called Dollé on his mobile phone at Frankfurt airport while he was checking in for a flight to Toronto.

...rides to big cities where they catch vans, buses or even airplanes to New York. (Southwest Airlines is a popular choice for its fares, as low as $99 one-way.) The lucky ones with tourist visas can fly directly from Mexico City to New York City's J.F.K. Airport. But whether they travel by land or by air, relatively few get caught or even delayed.
