Bettina Obias, a North Bethesda resident, hopes for a miracle.
On June 24th she flew to Florida to visit her family. She was looking forward to spending time with her Aunt Maria and Uncle Claudio. They lived on the 10th floor of the Surfside Condo.
When Obias arrived, she learned about the collapse of the building. More than a week later, her aunt and uncle are among the 145 people still missing in the rubble.
Before retiring Maria and Claudio Bonnefoy lived in Potomac and had successful careers in Washington D.C. Maria Bonnefoy worked as the Senior Budget Officer at IMF. Claudio Bonnefoy was a legal counsel for the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization.
