Aysha Moosa, the cousin of Jiwani's husband Taufiq, put out a Facebook post asking for the GoPro's return. 

She even offered a cash reward, saying they just want the files back.

American Airlines responded to her tweets, and a customer relations representative replied directly to her Facebook post.

Moosa also asked GoPro if the files could be recovered remotely, but without a cloud back-up there is little they can do.

However, the family is hopeful the memories can be recovered. They are asking people to share the post so the files can be returned to the Jiwani family.
