More than two months after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, the family of 18-year-old Andrés Molina continues searching for him across the devastated coastal city of La Guaira.
The apartment building where Andrés lived collapsed during the June 24 earthquakes. His mother and brother died, but neither Andrés nor his belongings were found in the debris. Relatives have distributed photographs and investigated reported sightings of a young man resembling him, but none has been conclusively verified.
The family says it will continue searching despite the passage of time and the lack of reliable information.
Why it matters: The case illustrates the prolonged uncertainty experienced by families whose relatives remain missing after a major disaster.
