For the second time in recent weeks, police investigators searched the home of Peninsula resident Henry Lisowski, scouring for clues to the whereabouts of his missing wife, Rosa Lisowski, a Point Loma mother of four.
The search, aided by a search warrant, was conducted Thursday, May 8 at Henry Lisowski’s residence on West Point Loma Boulevard.
Rosa Lisowski, 48, disappeared the morning of March 24 after walking her 6-year-old son to class at Barnard Elementary School.
The couple, embroiled in a divorce and child-custody dispute, lived in separate residences.
Meanwhile, friends of Rosa Lisowski held a high-profile walk Saturday, May 10 in the hopes someone steps forward with new information, according to walk organizer Heather Peterson, a close friend of Rosa.
Police have named Rosa’s estranged husband as a person of interest. No formal suspects have been named.
“[Police] were looking for anything, any evidence, any materials that would provide us some leads as to the identification of a suspect or suspects,” said San Diego police Lt. Terry McManus.
McManus said serving multiple warrants is typical of an ongoing investigation. Henry Lisowski’s boat and the area around it was also searched in late March, according to investigators.
Though police don’t know where he is, McManus said Henry Lisowski may have family in Canada and has visited Costa Rica.
Police have said the couple was in the middle of a divorce and child-custody dispute.
The May 10 walk for Rosa, which stretched along West Point Loma Boulevard, drew about 25 close family and friends, according to Peterson.
Those who walked with Peterson stopped in front of Henry Lisowski’s house just two days after investigators returned to hunt for added clues. The walk participants also sang songs and said prayers for Rosa, Peterson said.
“It attests to Rosa’s character. She surrounded herself with amazing friends,” Peterson said. “I always wished I had Rosa’s qualities, [her] being such a good mom.”
Peterson said Rosa was always a good mother and that her children, who are staying with family members now, were always respectful to others.
The family has two college-age children and two others, ages 6 and 4.
Peterson has staged several vigils for Rosa and fundraisers for the family since the disappearance in hopes that somebody remembers something that might help police locate Rosa or pinpoint suspects.
Another candlelight vigil is scheduled for Saturday, May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Barons parking lot, 4001 W. Point Loma Blvd., Peterson said.
