Missing mother and grandmother

A woman who said she woke up because of noise in the building the night before the collapse disappeared, said her son Pablo Rodriguez.

Rodriguez told CNN’s Erin Burnett that both his mother and grandmother were in the collapsed section at first, and that the family had not heard from them.

“You always have confidence,” he said. “Until we know for good, we’re trying to be optimistic. But after watching the video of the collapse it became more and more difficult because they were in that section that collapsed, the first section collapsed, and then the other building collapsed on top, so it’s not easy to watch.

Rodriguez said he and his mother did not really think about Creek.

“It’s a comment he made in blue, which is why he was awake and then could not go back to sleep, but now, backwards, you always wonder,” he said.

The family is still hopeful for the good news, Rodriguez said.
