Sister-in-law of Paraguay's president and her family missing in condo collapse
United News Team7 hours ago
The sister-in-law of Paraguay’s president and her family are among the 99 people unaccounted for in the deadly partial collapse of a 12-story oceanfront condo building near Miami, officials and reports said Thursday.
Sophia López Moreira, her husband, Luis Pettengill, and the couple’s three children are all missing, as is a sixth Paraguayan national, Lady Luna Villalba, the nation’s foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.
Moreira is the sister of Paraguay’s first lady, Silvana López Moreira, and sister-in-law of President Mario Abdo Benítez, according to the Daily Mail.
Moreira’s family reportedly owned a condo in the tower.
Part of the building in Surfside, Fla. — just north of Miami Beach — abruptly gave way around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, trapping sleeping residents beneath a mountain of rubble.
