This week, the state asked a judge to deny David Knezevic's bond.

“He is a law-abiding citizen and we hope and pray Ana walks through the door and shows up somewhere so he can be free,” said his attorney, Jayne Weintraub. 

Spanish authorities said Ana Knezevic lived in Fort Lauderdale but moved to Madrid in December after friends said she was separating from her husband.

"The separation was contentious because the defendant did not want to split the marital assets evenly with the victim. The Victim was very fearful of the Defendant," court documents said.

This week, FBI agents and Spanish police released video of their search for Ana Knezevic in a wooded area. 

As the search overseas grows, her family remains optimistic.

“We still have hope we can find where my sister is,” her brother Felipe Henao said.

David Knezevich is back in court Monday.
