April 2nd was the day the FBI was briefed on our case and we met with them on Monday April 5th the day after Easter, and still we are waiting. That’s the hardest part, the waiting.
SC Times puts out an article a week or so ago, 4 errors and inaccuracies. I got tons of emails for clarifications and it simply adds to the frustration. I have been receiving lots of emails for updates, and there just aren’t any. No sightings, no videotapes, no nothing.
The detectives are still on the case north of the border, as the FBI is handling south of the border. I will go to Mexico myself if we get a credible lead, but at this time, there is nothing to compel me other than these beautiful faces on the website. For them, I would do anything.
I am shocked that two weeks went by like a blink of the eye. We all miss Joey, Summer and the boys terribly. I just miss my every Friday talks as Joey drives to Aliso Viejo for soccer. We talked about everything and nothing, but it was always good just to talk with my bro and hear his voice. Gianni’s birthday is coming up in a few months, and he’s turning the big – 5.
I know that this article isn’t much, but hopefully we will get some news that will help us all breath easier. Thanks everyone for caring.
I am so sorry Mike. I can’t even imagine your frustration. Please know that you, Susan, and all of the family are in my prayers daily.
Praying hard that all of them are ok and found soon.

God is sovereign and is not surprised or uninformed.
Thanks Mike for posting. This has to be so hard on your family!!
Thinking of you and your family every day several times. I love you all .As I father of 2 girls and Joeys life long friend I am heart broken for yall. I am gonna surf in the mornin and Im gonna get 1 for Joey.Have a strong night.
Thanks for updating us. Have been praying too. I figured you had not heard or found anything to report on and i know you probably wish there was some good news to tell us. We all wish there was more we could do but all we can do is pray and there is alot of power in prayer so my prayers will continue for this family .
My heart goes out to you and your family. I think of your nephews daily and pray for their safe return.
I check this website weekly and appreciate the update. I don’t know your family but my family is equally close and we all speak daily. The pain and confusion it must cause to have those connections suddenly vanish must be devastating. You are a good brother and an amazing person to have automatically shouldered the responsibilities of another household. The amount of details must be staggering. My prayers are with all of you that they will be found safe.
I cannot imagine the difficulty you and your family are going through. I read Google News every single night for updates on the situation, and I hope that your brother and his family return home safely.

I have followed this heartwrenching story for weeks now. You are all in my prayers for strength and guidance. I pray Joey, Summer and the boys are safe someplace. God give you all strength.
Mikey,
Here’s an update from Rome. Greta and I tossed a coin into a fountain in the gardens at the Vatican Thursday along with a prayer for Joey and family. We did the same thing at the Trevi Fountain yesterday. Our best to Spunky.
Stay strong. We love you,
Tom and Greta
Thank you so much for your update. Although I’m sorry to hear that you’ve not heard anything. I understand your not going into Mexico. Where would you start? Hopefully, someone in Mexico is or has been hanging some flyers. *I still have about 100 flyers. I think I may be able to get someone in Mexico to hang some flyers for you if you want. give me a call (Susan has my numbers and I think you do too-also Katie has them).
Just maybe a lead will come of that. Let me know.
Sincerely,
Dee in Fallbrook
I am praying every day for the safe return of the McStay family-I will never quit praying for them until they are found SAFE !!! I never met them but I just wanted to say that I am praying here in wisconsin for them.Please come home!!Sincerely,Libby Cape
Thank you Mike, for the update. I’m sure it is hard for you to go on here without being able to report any news. Hope that the pups are doing okay, as I’m sure they are confused, with all the changes they have undergone since all this started.
And I also pray for serenity for your family and Summer’s family too, and that your loved ones are found alive and well soon….Carol from Pennsylvania.
Thankyou for the update , It must be so hard for you just waiting but hopefully no news is good news. Thiking of you and your family. suzanne uk .
Dear Mikey and Family, Thank you for posting an update, we check website daily in hopes for good news. Our hearts haven’t given up and we pray for your entire family’s strength thru this horrible time. Call us if you need anything. Love you all.
Thank you for posting an update. I think of the missing McStays often and check here regularly. I never met them, but for some reason I really identify with them. Maybe because they just seem like a normal happy little family with two little boys, just like mine.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am sorry, that your family has not found any new information. This is very sad. I do want to thank you and the family for the updates. I will keep praying for them to be safe.

I am so sorry, so upset, that there is no news or new leads. I can’t understand how they could have just disappeared. I am an old friend of Summer’s and really worried about her and her family. I will continue to check this website and pray for their safe return.
They are very lucky to have caring families that are doing all they can to find them. I admire your courage and strength. Love to you all.
My guess would be that they are somehow connected to the Mexican Drug trade. Mr. McStay did “business” in Mexico according to one of the articles I read. He went down there because his fountains were being made there and shipped to US. Who’s to say that the family didnt go into WITNESS PROTECTION? They would not need birth certificates, passports, or whatever…they had NEW IDENTITIES! And of course they could not tell anyone because it would jeopardize the safety of the person they told, so thats why the brother doesnt know where they are.
Like others who periodically visit this site, I am compelled by an intangible connection to this family and the desire for their well-being. I recently had a dream in which they were safe, in their home, and celebrating with friends and family. I have hope there is some truth to this dream, at least in the sense that they are together and okay, wherever they might be now. My love and prayers to the McStays and those still looking for answers.
Mike, Thank you for keeping us posted with whatever news you may have. Summer is my niece and I can’t seem to understand how people can just disappear without a trace. Knowing Summer she never would just leave without putting thing in order. “Bear” is no small dog and he is a “big baby” they had to have spent many hours with him, to just leave him? I don’t think so. Something went wrong. We hope to hear good news soon. Our prayers to all.
In all the things I have read……there is one thing I can’t find mentioned. Your brother was such a camera fanatic…..is the camera gone?
I pray for your family everyday……there are so many things written which leave so many questions…..Am I missing a complete summary of everything that has happened….what’s right, whats not… For example…I just got off a site which said there were no beds for the boys…..is this true? I know how difficult all this is…..I apologize for asking questions….but….
Hello. I have had this news story pop up in my head and today, I’m sad to see no recent updates! I’m really wishing to see a new story about their appearances in Mexico, or around the boarder, or them just coming home. I’d really like to know if they’re ok.
i have been following the story of your family since their disappearance in February. The entire thing is so bizarre. just wanted to reach out to you and let you know that there are people everywhere who do care and are praying for your family…
Dear Mike and Family,
I have been following this story since February and I check daily to see if there are any new updates. My heart goes out to you and your family. As a mother of 3 young children under age 4, I just pray that your family is found safe. It baffles me that since the FBI has gotten involved that there have been no new updates. I was initially so excited when I heard the FBI was being briefed on the case because I thought, okay, anyday now we will have some news. But it’s like since they’ve been involved there’s been nothing. I really feel for you and your family and don’t know what I’d do if I were in your shoes. I will continue to pray and hope for their safe return. You are all in my heart!!
