The search continues for a missing grandma who just arrived in the United States two weeks ago.
Margarita Bernadez went missing when trying to get from one city shelter to another.
A tipster told police Bernadez was last seen at a subway station on East 180th Street and Morris Park Avenue in the Bronx, riding the 5 line around noon Thursday. As CBS2's Astrid Martinez reports, that news brought a sigh of relief for her loved ones, who have not seen the 68-year-old since they arrived in the country on May 31.
Immediately, Bernadez's family came out to the station in hopes of spotting her. The family did not want to show their faces on camera because of their temporary refugee status.
They were handing out fliers to people and police, but after a couple of hours, they were deflated when they didn't see Bernadez. More at link

NEW YORK -- A family in search of a better future was granted entry into the United States, only to find agony.
They were staying at separate family shelters while applying for refugee status when their elderly relative was misplaced by staff workers.
Margarita Bernardez has now been missing for eight days.
CBS2's Astrid Martinez has more on the family's desperate search for their loved one.
Maidy, her husband, children, and mother-in-law fled their homeland of Honduras to escape threats of violence. They recently arrived in the U.S. in search of peace.
Fighting back tears, Maidy asked CBS2 not to show their identity because of their temporary refugee status. She explained that after traveling for months from the Mexico border, the family arrived in the Bronx on May 31 in the middle of the night.
But PATH DHS Assessment Shelter couldn't house all of them. The family was forced to take 68-year-old Bernardez at 2 a.m. to Franklin Women's Shelter in the Bronx.
