Canadian Teena Tim, 32, was last heard from June 15, 2005. She stayed in El Toro Hotel in Tupiza and may have been heading to La Paz or Tarija in Bolivia before going on to Argentina.
Henrik Krantz, 33, was last heard from on the evening of August 27 last year, calling from Peaks harbor in Trinidad just before heading towards Argentina in his sail boat. To avoid the Brazil coastline, Henrik planned to first sail east, and then turn south towards Patagonia, where he looked to arrive this past Christmas.
Khumbu trekker Gareth Koch, 26, has yet to be located. The last reported sighting of Gareth was at Chhukung on the morning of March 8th last year by a German couple who said that Gareth was descending to Dingboche. Since then there has been no sign of him. His hair will be longer than in the photographs and he has now possibly grown a beard.

An e-mail has reached ExWeb about another trekking girl gone missing - in Bolivia. Teena Timm (32) of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada was last heard from on June 15th. "I believe she was in Tupiza, Bolivia heading to La Paz or Tarija" writes her best friend. "She was heading out for a hike with 'some friends'. That's it."
Teena stayed in El Toro Hotel in Tupiza. She may have been heading to La Paz or Tarija in Bolivia before going on to Argentina. The friends she may have been hanging out with are quite possibly an Argentine couple, possibly from a village near Jujuy (Huhuy) in Argentina.
