Disappearance of Zane Plemmons, a Mexican-American photojournalist who does freelance work for the Sinaloa newspaper ''El Debate'', occurred on 21 May 2012 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico after covering a shootout.〔 Plemmons was last seen leaving from a hotel to photograph a shootout between rival drug cartels. He did not return from the scene and has been missing ever since. The investigation into his disappearance is ongoing and the US Consulate there is tracking its progress. One year later, the Plemmons case was still open.〔 == Early life == Zane Alejandro Plemmons Rosales was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, and grew up traveling through the border that divides Mexico and Texas. His father was a former U.S. Marine, while his mother owns a hair salon near the city of San Antonio, Texas. Plemmons attended Medina Valley High School in Castroville, Texas, which is on the outskirts of San Antonio. From there, he went on to San Antonio College and the University of Texas at San Antonio. Plemmons is a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, and had epilepsy.〔 In 2009, Plemmons returned to his hometown to work in several jobs after living in San Antonio for several years. The following year, he began to work as a freelance journalist for several local newspapers, covering crime beats and writing articles on the poor living conditions of people who lived in the area.〔 His work as a crime reporter, however, brought him some trouble; in 2010, alleged drug traffickers attacked the newspaper offices in Mazatlán, and gunmen left blood outside Plemmons' house. He moved back to San Antonio and lived with his family, after they had asked him to return. Living with his family made Plemmons uneasy, so he made plans to revisit Mazatlán and see his family there.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disappearance of Zane Plemmons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
