Search efforts are still underway to find a South Coventry Township nurse who vanished nearly three months ago.
"At this point there are no answers and he has just vanished," said Ellen Kochu, Paul's mother.
It has been a heartwrenching three months for the Kochu family after their son Paul disappeared in Pittsburgh.
We first told you the story of Paul Kochu in December. He was a recent graduate of Duquesne University's nursing program.
"He loves it and he fought so hard to become a nurse because he cares about people and making a difference," said Jessica Kochu, Paul's sister.
Paul disappeared during the early morning hours of December 16, 2014.
Since then, his family has spent months searching for him and a search team is heading to Pittsburgh this weekend hoping to uncover more clues about his disappearance.
The latest police have to go on is surveillance video showing Paul walking home early that Tuesday morning.
His roommates say Paul decided to walk home from a bar because he cut his hand on a glass. His roommates say they came home to help Paul with his hand, then left the apartment to go get food.
When they returned, Paul was gone, along with his cell phone, wallet and keys. But his car was still parked outside.
The Kochu family tell us police have used search dogs along with sonar equipment to search the south side of Pittsburgh and the nearby rivers, but have found nothing.
They are hoping this weekend's search will turn up new leads and just thank the community for being so supportive.
"I spoke with a woman name Britney last night who was out looking for Paul with her boyfriend. So to Pittsburgh, we just want to say thank you so much for not forgetting about Paul and for still going out and looking when we cannot be there," said Kochu.
The family lit a tree for Paul for Christmas and they are leaving it lit as a symbol that they will not give up until they find him.
"If there is anyone out there who knows anything about what happened to Paul or might have seen Paul that night to please come forward and please tell the truth and let us know where our son is," said Kochu.
The family is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Paul's whereabouts.
