Finding Zuzu: Robert Fabian's family speaks out for the first time

ALPINE -- After a month of searching for missing Sul Ross State University student Zuzu Verk, her boyfriend’s family is finally speaking out.



On Monday, a grand jury met at the Brewster County Courthouse to hear testimony from witnesses and persons of interest including Robert Fabian’s mother, sister and brother-in-law.

Our conversation with the family was brief, but Robert’s sister and brother-in-law said he is innocent, and they are hopeful and praying that Zuzu is found safe and sound.

Alpine walks to honor Zuzu Verk and family

ALPINE, TX (KWES) -
Rose petals are scattered on the streets of Alpine. They're a reference to Zuzu Bailey's petals from the film It's A Wonderful Life, but Zuzu Verk's flower petals here are more than just roses.

"We want people to walk around Alpine and see the petals and think of her," said event coordinator and family friend Jackie McDonald.

Zuzu's supporters walked in downtown Alpine to honor Zuzu and her family through the long five weeks since her disappearance Sunday afternoon.
Signs and T-shirts read "#FindZuzu" to spread awareness of the Zuzu Verk case. Supporters didn't only hold onto signs, but faith to bring her home.

The family said another hashtag called #TheZuzuEffect, is all about paying it forward in her honor.

"The Zuzu Effect, that's what Zuzu would want to promote is kindness with strangers, with everyone," said mother Lori Verk. "That's the random act of kindness going around now. It's a big following, people should do it all the time."

With the tremendous amount of support, her parents said this has kept them holding on through this bumpy ride, but their hope for Zuzu's safe return remains.
