DAVENPORT, Iowa — (DAVENPORT, Iowa) -- It's been nearly 72 hours since a Davenport, Iowa, apartment building partially collapsed, possibly trapping two men inside, including resident Branden Colvin.
"I know my dad's in there and there's nothing I can do ... wishing I could just run in there," Colvin Jr. told ABC News on Wednesday."I just want to talk to him, give him a hug, hear his voice, anything," he said.More than a dozen people evacuated the building at the time and eight people were rescued in the 24 hours that followed.
Then, on Monday night, a ninth victim, Lisa Brooks, was found alive inside and pulled out of a fourth-story window. But Colvin Jr. is frustrated with city officials, saying he wants responders to"just go in there and look for these people." In a Tuesday afternoon search, several animals were rescued, but no human activity was detected, city officials said.
