This fine group of kids from Westchester Lutheran School set up a table in the parking lot of Vons on 80th Street on Sept. 6 to help in the effort to find two of their classmates.

The Silah boys -- Alex, 12, and Zaven, 8 --  would have begun seventh and third grade this week.

Their father, George Silah, is charged with kidnapping the kids and taking off. Silah's brother, John, also is missing with his son, Greg, 10.

Alex and Zaven's mother, Zanni Meguerian, and Greg's mother, Christine Jeanbart, have not heard from their former husbands or children since July 2.

The fundraiser, which pulled in $1,200, is to help pay for the costs of attorneys and organizations that have become involved in the case.

A concert will be held at the school at 7 p.m. on Sept. 25.

Donations may be sent to ARC "Silah Operation," P.O. Box 7000-59, Redondo Beach, CA  90277.

I talked to Christine today. She told me that investigators with the LAPD and FBI are working hard on the case, even on weekends.

"We are just waiting and hoping that they will find them," she said.

Still, there is nothing to report.

"I'm really tired emotionally," she said. "I'm trying to keep my hopes up, but I haven't heard from the FBI about any positive leads."

These are photos of the Silah brothers of Westchester who are suspected of taking their sons and disappearing. The boys' mothers are frantically trying to find them before the boys are taken to Syria. A full story is coming later tonight.

If you know where George, bottom right, and John Silah, bottom left, are, along with Greg, top right, and his cousins, Zaven and Alex, call the police.
