Search for missing Florida woman Ana María Knezevich Henao intensifies in Spain
The search for Ana Maria Knezevic Henao — a South Florida Colombian American woman who disappeared in Spain weeks ago — has intensified as authorities and volunteer groups scramble to alert the public.
Missing person's alerts and notices for Ana Maria Knezevic Henao, a South Florida woman who traveled to Spain and vanished, blanket the streets and ATM machines of the European nation and have been shared online and on TV repeatedly since the Colombian American woman was last seen on Feb. 2.
The alerts have been seen over 15 million times over the past week, according to Joaquin Amills Bonet, president of a Spanish missing persons volunteer organization helping in the search of the 40-year-old woman.
Amills Bonet told NBC News that his organization is in constant communication with relatives and friends of Knezevic Henao and that he is serving as the family's spokesperson.
"Logically, fear is present," Bonet said in Spanish. "We always say that hope is the last thing to lose, therefore, we must always be looking for Ana María in good condition, alive."
Knezevic Henao, who was born in Colombia and became a U.S. citizen, was last seen at an apartment she had been renting in Madrid since December.
