Three years later, no sign of missing family (McStay Family: Husband, wife and two children)

http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/26/justice/mcstay-family-disappearance/



(CNN) -- Susan Blake writes her son Joseph all the time. "I send him e-mails," she says, "keeping him updated on what's going on."

Each e-mail goes unanswered. All she can do is hope that he sees them.

It's how she copes with one of the most unsettling and baffling missing persons cases in recent years: the mystery of the McStay family.

Next week marks the third anniversary of the disappearance of Joseph McStay, 43; his wife, Summer, 46; and their two young children, Gianni, 7, and Joseph Mateo, who would be 6 this month.

February 4, 2010 was the last day anyone saw the family or heard from them. When police entered their Southern California house more than 10 days later, they found eggs on the kitchen counter and bowls of popcorn in the living room. Their two dogs were also in the home. But not a single trace of the McStays.

After searching the family's computer, police found evidence that someone had searched for information about going to Mexico with children without passports.

That Summer McStay's phone ping for two days at the location could meant it was thrown out of the car or they maybe in that area, presumably dead. I don't think LE have looked in the area. But, I'm not sure.

They have an agreement not to discuss the book until 2/6/2013. They want to give everyone time to read the book.

I love unsolved mysteries and the one is weird!!! So many pieces of conflicting evidence/theories.
