Searching For Closure
posted (February 20, 2014)
Today makes exactly 6 years since 17 year-old Anthony Yoshua Roches went missing, and today his family is still looking for closure. No, they don't think that he is still alive, but they want information from whoever has it about where his body can be found so that they could give him a proper burial.

Today, his brother spoke with us about what they've had to endure:

Joseph Nunez, Brother of Anthony Yoshua Roches
"At this time the family is just seeking closure. It's not like we are sitting around thinking that one day he will be coming home today or tomorrow or the day after because we know for a fact that will never happen. It was brought to my attention or doing my investigation I found out that he went on some kind of mischievous act with some of his friends, but they came back but he didn't. And when we approach them they just turn us around, after which we seek help from the police, but to no avail with the police department because basically all the information they got is what we gave to them. We are not looking to charge anyone with anything, all we want is answers. We want somebody to just call or text and say something that his body is this side or that side because that is all that we need. We don't want any revenge because we know exactly who he was with. It's not like they don't know us and we don't know them; just come forward and tell us where his body is and then we just go for it and give him a proper burial and move on with it after that."

Right now, Anthony Yoshua Roches is considered to be 23 years-old.
