TROY >> The mother of Noel Alkaramla, the Troy woman who has been missing for more than two weeks, is still hoping her daughter will be found alive.
Debra Napoli-Oquendo watched Wednesday as police entered day six of searching the Hudson River for clues relating to her daughter's disappearance.
Napoli-Oquendo, who moved earlier this year from Troy to Malone, said she is working hard to help bring her daughter home safely.
"Since I came back to Troy, I've been doing everything I can to help to get people to be more aware of my daughter being missing," Napoli-Oquendo said.
Napoli-Oquendo said she has put more than 3,000 flyers around the city, hoping anyone with information related to her daughter's disappearance will report it. She also said she wants everyone to know she is Noel's only immediate family member and that she should be notified first by police during their investigation....."
