Help Parents Find Missing Son DAVID SIEGEL: Has Girlfriend, No Money, Maybe on Riverside Or In the Cambodian Jungle

Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Saw him last November maybe. Said he was planning to leave the country for a masters program in Amsterdam. And that he finally handled his girlfriend's passport situation.

Well damn, that's quite a long time ago. Which particular bars did he hang out at?

I think you should go through police or other official channels to establish whether he left the country. Perhaps contact the US embassy in Phnom Penh.

I've added this to the first post, as they sent us additional info and it sounds like they're not able to post very easily, and I told them I'd help post it for them:

"Thanks. He was an A student in American college....beautiful childhood, loving family. He joined Peace Corps T hiland, Quit after 5 weeks. Then wandered alone through Asia, and met a girl he paid 10,000 random fee to save her. He lost all his money in cambodia. We helped him alot, but it's now 4 years. Some man we don't know text my husband. He is on the streets...or jungle? Can't understand man...no name. We feel Our son has undiagnosed autism, or has become mentally ill. A very smart person with no common sense. Thanks so much. We love him. He wants to become a college professor one day...but is lost in Cambodia."

We heard from David Siegel 2 weeks ago. Short phone conversation, low on phone money. Said he had foot infection, needs money. We sent him thousands for "emergencies" in the past. No more. He is 25, no job. His girlfriend "Laak" just got 30,000 , and spent it all on land. We dont know truth from lies. He was teachers favorite student, grew up on Long Island NY....our son has changed in Cambodia.
