The family traveled by train to Glendale to visit June Robles' grandmother and other. Her father, Fernando, also claims that June is doing very well since her rescue from the shallow pit she had been imprisoned in in the desert, having gained eight pounds. All questions June was asked concerning the kidnapping were answered with "I don't know."
