Indian-Origin Family Disappears During Road Trip To West Virginia, Search Underway

<p>Authorities are searching for four Indian-origin senior citizens from New York who went missing while traveling to a spiritual destination in West Virginia. The family, who left Buffalo for Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold in Marshall County, was last seen at a Burger King in Pennsylvania on July 29.</p>
<h2><strong>Missing Individuals and Vehicle Details</strong></h2>
<p>The missing persons have been identified as Asha Divan (85), Kishore Divan (89), Shailesh Divan (86), and Gita Divan (84). They were traveling in a 2009 lime green Toyota Camry with a New York license plate EKW2611.</p>
<h2><strong>Last Known Location</strong></h2>
<p>Surveillance footage captured two of the family members entering a Burger King restaurant in Pennsylvania, and their last credit card transaction also traces back to that location. Shortly after, a Pennsylvania State Police license plate reader detected their vehicle traveling south on I-79 at 2:45 pm on Tuesday.</p>
