The man accused of kidnapping his estranged wife in Spain made another appearance in federal court in South Florida Monday as the woman's brother pleaded for any information in her disappearance.
David Knezevich, 36 was arrested earlier this month after arriving at Miami International Airport on a flight from Serbia, and was charged with kidnapping in the disappearance of wife Ana María Henao Knezevich.
The Colombian native has been missing since Feb. 2 when she was last seen in Madrid.
Ana Maria Knezevich had lived in Fort Lauderdale but had moved to Madrid in December after friends said she was separating from her husband.

In court Monday, a judge granted David Knezevich a two-week delay in his arraignment so he can finalize details with his attorney.
After Monday's hearing, Ana Maria Knezevich's brother, Juan Felipe Henao, made a brief statement as the family hold out hope she'll be found alive.

"We just hope for justice for my sister, we hope that we find her soon," he said. "If anybody out there, internationally, anywhere, if they have information about where she is at, anything they have seen, please come forward and contact authorities."
Court documents show that authorities believe David Knezevich resembles the man wearing a motorcycle helmet who spray painted the security camera lens outside Ana's Madrid apartment on Feb. 2. The man left an hour later carrying a suitcase.
Knezevich’s attorney has said his client is innocent and was in his native Serbia on the day his 40-year-old wife disappeared, 1,600 miles away. But agents say Knezevich rented a Peugeot in the Serbian capital Belgrade four days earlier.
The case has garnered international attention as law enforcement from several different countries have come together to help find Ana Maria and the person responsible for her disappearance.
