Four Indian-origin senior citizens have gone missing in the United States during a road trip. The family – Asha Divan, Kishore Divan, Shailesh Divan, and Gita Divan – was traveling from Buffalo, New York, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but never reached their final destination.
They were last seen six days ago at around 2:45 PM on Tuesday, July 29, at a Burger King on Peach Street in Erie, Pennsylvania. CCTV footage shows two of them entering the restaurant. Their credit card was also used there, making it the last confirmed location they were seen.
The family was driving a light green Toyota Camry with New York license plate EKW2611. They were heading to the Palace of Gold, a religious retreat in Moundsville, West Virginia, where they had already booked a stay. However, they never checked in.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, a police camera had spotted their car on Interstate 79 heading south, confirming their movement. Later, their phone signals were picked up around 3 AM on Wednesday near Moundsville and Wheeling, but since then, no contact has been made. None of them have answered their phones.
Authorities are now searching for them with the help of local and surrounding law enforcement agencies. Photos of the missing individuals, their car, and CCTV images have been shared with the public to seek help in finding them.
A missing person report has also been filed in Buffalo. The police are asking anyone with information to come forward and assist in the search.
Sheriff Kevin Dougherty said, “We have some leads, and we’re investigating, but we haven’t located them yet.”
