I am seeking freeware which will read my exif data. This photo doesn't
work on my regular exif reader.

You can only read EXIF data if there is some present!

This image is a progressive JPEG compressed with IJG Q=85

No embedded Exif data is included - so it isn't too surprising that your
Exif reader cannot do much with it.

Some photo editing software will strip the exif data when saving such as
Photoshop CS's "save for web" feature.

I'm not surprised. That appears to be a photo retouch. The
"photographer" probably removed any identifying info from the pic.

That photo has no EXIF data.
You'll notice that as the image loads it starts as a coarse and blurry image
and becomes more detailed in a couple of stages. This indicates that it is a
progressive JPEG. The applications that I have that give the option to save
as a progressive JPEG, don't allow EXIF metadata to be saved in that format,
only in the standard format.
Many web images are deliberately saved without EXIF or other metadata,
partly for privacy reasons, but mainly to keep the file size down for fast
downloading. Your sample image could easily be more than twice its current
filesize if it contained a full set of metadata including EXIF and an
embedded thumbnail.
