华裔女子芝加哥机场神秘失踪 到底发生了什么事？
(.com)2月26日下午，38岁的华裔女子胡素梅(Sumei
Hu)结束与中国家人的团聚飞抵芝加哥奥海尔国际机场，返回到她的美籍丈夫身边，但却在过关后突然失踪了。
芝加哥媒体和威斯康星州媒体都在3月3日对胡素梅“突然神秘失踪案”进行了报导。最新消息说，目前胡素梅的家人还有芝加哥警方正在设法确定在胡素梅身上到底发生了什么事情。
胡素梅的丈夫、居住在威斯康星州施百干(Sheboygan)的弗拉斯奇(Steven
Frasch)3月2日在芝加哥表示，“太令人难以置信了，怎能有人在出机场时就消失了呢？”
机场内的闭路电视录像显示，2月26日下午，结束对老家广州进行了长时间探亲的胡素梅，搭乘美国航空公司东京至芝加哥的航班抵达芝加哥奥海尔国际机场。

机场警方介绍说，机场录像中有胡素梅在接受海关检查的镜头，目前调查人员正在对机场内的其它录像进行检查。
航班降落后，胡素梅的丈夫弗拉斯奇在国际候机厅外等候了一个多小时，也没有看到妻子的身影，便前往美国航空公司服务处寻问胡是否错过了这个航班。在得到证实胡素梅抵达机场后，弗拉斯奇说，“但我们从未见到她，她过关了，然后就消失了。”
“她的家人也没有她的任何消息。她是一个从里到外都非常美丽和善良的人。我们最后一次谈话聊得非常开心，”弗拉斯奇对记者说。
弗拉斯奇介绍说，他与胡素梅是在婚介网站相识后，于2005年11月结婚。去年9月，胡返回中国去探望她15岁的女儿和住在广州的家人。
弗拉斯奇说，由于胡素梅没有信用卡，警方可能已排除了她搭乘另外航班离开的可能。“她能转过身返回服务台购买另一张机票么？”弗拉斯奇自问自答道，“那是不可能的。”

芝加哥媒体报导说，警方正在调查是谁支付了胡素梅返回中国的机票。弗拉斯奇说，是她的一位居住在威斯康星州施百干的女性朋友替她用信用卡付的钱，但他已记不清这位女士的名字。
据胡素梅的家人透露，她当天应该戴着一项棕色帽子，穿着一件带毛边的黑色夹克，还有粉红色的毛衣、绿色手套和牛仔裤。胡素梅的广州家人还说，她同一位姓张的人通过电话，她对英语只有简单的了解。
芝加哥警方呼吁公众提供有关胡素梅下落的信息，电话号码为：312－7469－8365。
Report: Chinese Woman Disappears At O'Hare
The Chicago Tribune reported that Sumei Hu flew into O'Hare on Feb. 26 on her return to her American husband after a long visit with her family in China.
But somewhere between customs and the area where her husband was waiting for her, Hu disappeared, the paper said.
Now her family and Chicago police are trying to determine what happened to the 38-year-old woman.
"It's just incredible. How can somebody disappear out of the airport?" Hu's husband, Steven Frasch of Sheboygan, Wis., said Sunday.
The Tribune said that video footage shows Hu arriving at O'Hare Tuesday afternoon on an American Airlines flight from Tokyo -- the last leg of travel from her hometown of Guangzhou, China -- and checking in at customs, police Sgt. Jeffrey Peraino said.
Investigators are looking at more airport footage to try to piece together the woman's steps, he told the paper.
Frasch and Hu were married in November 2005, he said, after meeting on an Internet dating service. She had traveled back to China in September to visit her 15-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, as well as other family in Guangzhou.
"None of her family has heard from her," the paper quoted Frasch as saying. "She's just a beautiful person inside and out. Our last conversations were just so happy."
Hu reportedly did not have a credit card, but police could not rule out whether she may have left on another flight, the paper said.
"Could she have turned around and walked up to the counter and purchased another ticket?" Peraino said. "It's possible."
Frasch told police that he couldn't remember the name of his wife's friend who paid for her airfare to China, but investigators were trying to determine who that was.
The paper reported that Hu's family said she was wearing a brown hat, black jacket with fur trim, pink sweater, green gloves and jeans. They said also said that she has only a basic understanding of English.
