47岁中国女子赴美见男网友失踪，中领馆发声
A Chinese woman who traveled to Southern California to meet a friend she met online has gone missing, and the local police have initiated a search for her, said the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The missing woman, Jin Fang, is reportedly a 47-year-old from Guangdong, China, who flew into Los Angeles from China on July 14.
Jin then took a train from Los Angeles to the Palm Springs area, where she was picked up by John Root Fitzpatrick, a 52-year-old man from Morongo Valley, who was supposed to show her around the Morongo Basin.
金芳女儿林女士告诉记者，最后一次联系时，母亲告诉自己当晚会去露营，她也并未察觉到什么异样。林女士表示，母亲一直热爱旅行，之前去过不少国家独自游历，这是她第一次来美国，没想到竟然失联。
根据林女士回忆，母亲几个月前在网上认识了在南加州的这名男性网友，家人对此人其实也没有太多了解。如今金芳已失联超过半个月，家人心急如焚，更担心她会遇到可怕的事情。
Fang's daughter, who is located in China, posted photos of Fang and Fitzpatrick on social media and contacted several family friends in the United States. Some of the photos include images of a blue truck that they were traveling in.
Fitzpatrick is currently on probation for misdemeanor assault and is in veterans treatment court due to probation violations.
The family has also initiated a fundraising effort on multiple websites to raise US$10,000 as a reward for informants who provide tips about Jin.
