Family pleads for help finding the family of three
"I want eyes out there looking for them. I want my kids back," says Ida Martinez, Joshua's mother, who adds that her son was excited about the trip, telling her he would return in a week, just before his birthday.
"They knew they needed to be back before a certain time because I had a doctor's appointment and when they didn't show up before that, I started worrying," she said.
Ida assumed they extended their trip, but days went by and they didn't come back.
Kingman police and park rangers are searching for the family with no sight of them as of Oct. 2. They're asking the community to keep their eyes open for the trio.
" … It's like, no news is good news, but at the same time, no news is scary. It's hard and it's the not knowing where they are or when or if they'll come back," Ida said.
