Three years have elapsed since the day Bryan “Vladek” Hasel vanished, and his family, along with supporters, convened at the University of Central Florida to honor his memory with a vigil. Amidst candles and photos, bracelets and signs were distributed by the family in an ongoing effort to keep Vladek’s disappearance in the public consciousness. “Love will find a way,” expressed Vladek s father, Steve Hasel, a sentiment reflecting the family s enduring resolve, as detailed byClickOrlando.
Grappling with the absence of any new leads, the Hasel family was joined at the vigil by Nicole Schmidt, mother of Gabby Petito, whose disappearance and subsequent tragic end once garnered national empathy, according to aClickOrlandoreport. At the event marked by a showing of more than a dozen, Schmidt offered support, saying, “When your loved one is missing, you ll do absolutely everything to find them.” The joint mourning underscores a shared plight felt by families enduring similar ordeals.
Steve Hasel, sharing insights on their adopted son who had served in the Marines, said in an interview withClickOrlando, “We kind of made a promise that we d stick around for each other as long as we were both there.” Steve’s words bespeak a commitment unyielded despite the uncertainty surrounding his son’s whereabouts. “He is somewhere. We believe,” added Cheryl Hasel, Vladek’s mother, in a punctuation of hope amidst the unknown.
A sentiment of unwavering hope was reiterated by Bethany Hasel, Vladek’s sister, who remains at the helm of the search efforts. Described as having no sightings or leads in the past three years, Bethany toldWESH, “There are people who will remember him if we can get his face in front of the right set of eyes.” Spurred by the involvement of a new detective from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the family convenes, a testament to their strength and tenacity.
Their story highlights the struggles of families searching for missing loved ones and will be shared at Advocacy Con in Indianapolis this March, according to ClickOrlando. Authorities urge anyone with information about Vladek’s case to come forward.
