"We really want to get the gps data from his last text message, but it's been extremely difficult getting this from the cell phone company."
The phone company is unlikely to give that information to anyone except the police or other government agency - if a random person asks for it, they have no way of knowing whether their intentions are good or bad.
Have you filed a missing person report with the local police? If so, you could tell the police about the last text you received from your friend, and they might be able to get information from the phone company that they could forward to the Mexican authorities who are conducting the search.
Thank you. All the normal procedures are being followed, but it has been slow moving. I was hoping someone knew someone that could do us a favor or help in some way.
