Family Hopeful Missing Schuylkill Co. Man Will be Found

Family Hopeful Missing Schuylkill Co. Man Will be Found - Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 11:30PM EST

MINERSVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY- A Schuylkill County family is heartbroken -- not knowing if they're any closer to getting their loved one back home. 35-year-old Manuel Rosa-Varela of Minersville disappeared more than a week ago.
His family spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News. Even though a coordinated police search was suspended, the family's still looking and still holding out hope.

"We keep looking every day, every single day,” says his wife Nilsa Bonilla Cortez.

She wants her husband of 15-years home more than anything. Manuel Rosa-Varela has been missing since April 24th. That's when he ditched his car near Catawissa, Columbia County and ran into the woods.

Rosa-Varela suffers from schizophrenia and paranoia. Dozens of volunteers combed 200-acres over 2-days before calling off the search last weekend.

Now, more than a week later, Rosa-Varela's loved ones are hoping someone sees this story and can help get him home. He has 3 children waiting for him who miss him dearly.

His youngest, Ezequiel Rosa, is inconsolable. His daughter Keysa Rosa said, "I hope he comes back because we need him and we really miss him a lot."

His son Noel Rosa added. "And we are waiting for you."

His wife makes a plea in Spanish -- the only language Rosa-Varela understands.

Family from as far away as California and Puerto Rico are in Northeastern Pennsylvania trying to find Rosa-Varela. They say they're all praying he'll be found.
