By Brittany KeoghThe police may have called off searches for Rosy Santana's son Yuri eight days after he went missing, but she hasn't stopped looking for him. Although she doesn't know Yuri's whereabouts, Santana is sure of one thing. It was hard for her and her husband to be in their house because they were constantly reminded their son was missing, Santana said. Santana said her son spent the day before he went missing playing basketball and swimming - two of his favourite past times. Officer in charge, Sergeant Mike van der Heyden of Temuka, told Fairfax Yuri may have hitch-hiked out of the Temuka area.
