Standing close to the scene on Wednesday, she expressed her desperation. Surrounded by fields and hills, she requested authorities to let her approach the site. “I just want to find my son, dead or alive,” she cried to local police nearby. Families like hers are hoping for answers, even amid the trauma of the situation.
