Investigators are working to locate a missing family of four.  Authorities say Joseph McStay, 40, his wife Summer, 43, Gianni, 4, and Joseph, 3, vanished on February 4, 2010.  Four days later, the families white Isuzu Trooper was found and towed from the Mexican border in San Ysidro.  San Diego County police say they may have the McStay family on surveillance crossing the U.S. border into Mexico.  The video is not clear enough to say for certain if it is the family, but according to police there are two adults and two children seen walking across the border around the same time the family vehicle was abandoned.

Unable to reach them, Michael McStay, Joseph’s brother, reported the family members missing to police 11 days after they went missing. Investigators dispatched to check on the family’s welfare, and found no signs of them.  Their animals had been left in the yard without food or water, and it didn’t appear as if they had packed up and gone on a vacation.  Investigators told me early on the family is going through a major renovation project, so it is hard to tell if they were packing up to leave or not.
