A Canadian woman who is searching for her missing son in Peru says that authorities in the country are considering the possibility that her son was abducted.

Alisa Clamen, a Montreal resident, said her son Jesse Galganov, 22, left for a backpacking trip through South America and Southeast Asia last month. She last heard from him on Sept. 28, when he said that he would be out of communication for only a few days while he embarked on a multi-day trek near the Peruvian city of Huaraz.

Clamen flew to Peru last week after deciding that something was seriously wrong. After not hearing from her son for nearly a month, she has posted a $10,000 USD award for any information that leads to her son being found.

She said she has been corresponding with Peruvian authorities since her arrival, who she said have been working flat out to try to locate her son.

It is really the only plausible theory at this point, because nobody really disappears into thin air

“All of (the information) is leading to the conclusion that Jesse, somehow, was abducted,” said Clamen.
