I walked across with a couple of bags and a backpack.

The story's really never been told before, so we wanted to come down to see exactly what he was doing, who he knew, and what his life was like, and what really happened in Mexico.

In 2015, when Peter decided to flee, you know, he made it look like he had fled to Canada, when in reality, he came down here to the San Ysidro point of entry for the Mexican-U.S.

border.

Right here, this longest line here?

Yeah.

And he walked this path right here where these pedestrians are coming through, in through this white building right here, and out the other end where this metal fence is, and went straight into Mexico.

Peter's passports were taken from him before he fled, so how did he slip into Mexico?

I decided to cross the border into Mexico with my producer just to see if we would get asked for our passports.

And here we are, Mexico, a piece of cake.

They didn't check any passports, no ID, nothing.

We didn't need anything to get into Mexico.

So this was his trip.

He walked across the border, caught a bus, 27 hours down the west coast, right up to Colima.

Then he took the road north to Guadalajara.

In Guadalajara, somebody asked me, oh, and what's your name?
