"I had all the correct papers." Hours later she was on a flight to Spain, she said. She sold some of her great-grandmother's jewellery, took a bus to the border and legally entered the US on foot. Lucy said that after receiving the phone call she immediately moved to another part of her home city, in northern Mexico, and prepared to flee. Adam Parfrey, head of the Washington-based publisher Feral House, which published Dying for the Truth, said he was not in direct contact with the authors but had heard a rumour one had disappeared. Her account could not be independently verified but a US-based intermediary who is also in contact with Lucy backed up her story. She said she was speaking from an undisclosed location in Spain and that she was alone, lonely and frightened. Lucy, speaking to the Guardian via Skype this week, cried several times. I emailed him, tried Skype and WhatsApp, but nothing. I called him back but there was no answer. It was our code word for extreme situations, our last resort, but until then we had never used it. The revelation caused a stir but the duo continued as normal, Lucy, a journalist, writing and editing the site and her partner, a male friend aged 27 who lived in a different city in northern Mexico, managing the technical side.
