Web site created about missing family

A Web site featuring photos and videos has been created to give people a place to find information about a missing family who recently moved from San Clemente.

Joseph McStay, 40, and his family have been missing since Feb. 4, according to police reports. The McStays, including Joseph's wife, Summer, 43, and their sons, Gianni, 4, and Joseph, 3, moved to Fallbrook in San Diego County in December.

Joseph McStay has owned Earth Inspired Products, a water fountain and accessories business in San Clemente, since 1996, according to the company's Web site.

To view photos, home videos and information about the McStays, visit www.McStayFamily.com. The site is still under construction by relatives, but the photos, links to news stories about the missing family and a guestbook are already available. The photos include shots of the children opening Christmas presents dressed in holiday-theme pajamas and the family at the beach.

On Feb. 15, Michael McStay, Joseph's brother, called police to report the family missing. San Diego County sheriff's deputies have since searched the family's Fallbrook home and are conducting an investigation.

On Feb. 8, the McStays' car was towed as an abandoned vehicle from a parking lot close to the Mexican border, but police have said they are unsure whether the family left the car there or someone else had taken it.

Authorities have said it does not appear the McStays were going on vacation when they left their home. The family had left their two dogs, Bear and Baby Bear, outside without food or water, which friends say they normally would never do.

People started commenting Sunday on the guestbook at McStayFamily.com. A user named Aunt Carol wrote, "Please, dear God, bring our Joey, Summer, Gianni and little Joey home safe to us."
