An International Effort
Thankfully, Mikey’s friend in Prague provided them the Indonesian consulate’s phone numbers. “A bunch of Mikey’s friends were posting phone numbers to call, and I got in touch with a woman named Christine at the consulate, I think.” Aimee told CNN, “She gave me her email and I sent her screenshots of Mikey’s location. I don’t want to think about what would have happened if he didn’t have his phone, or if his battery was dead.”

The efforts of Mikey’s Facebook friends really paid off. He was able to talk to Indonesian authorities just before his phone died. “I got a call from a guy named Joe from the [consulate] who said help was coming but to help him find me. I told him there was a hotel near my GPS pin, that I’d be just before that hotel, then my battery died,” Mikey later recalled to CNN.
