Can anyone on Hacker News help with this, or perhaps get in touch with someone who can?

Honduran biologist, Isis Melissa Medina Flores (32), disappeared on November 5th at "Parque Nacional Montaña de Celaque", in Honduras while on a small science/hiking expedition.

The family is hoping to find her well and alive. The family is asking for any kind of help with canines, GPS or satellite imagery and/or rescue equipment/services/drones.

If anyone here knows of someone who can assist them, please get in touch with the family via their FB page (in spanish):

If you do not speak spanish, I can serve as a translator, just contact me via [email protected]

Much obliged to anyone who can provide ANY kind of help (even if it's a tweet somewhere), or who can get the word out to someone who can. EVERY SECOND COUNTS!
