Missing teen found safe

The Form Three student of Picton Street, Diamond Village, San Fernando left her home to conduct research and other school related activities at the San Fernando Carnegie Library.

She however never returned home.

A missing persons report was subsequently made to police by her parents Neil Lezama and Lynda Hinds. Calls to her cell phone went unanswered for the past four days.

Reports are that the 16-year-old who is one half of a twin was found at a house in Siparia on Tuesday morning.

Lezama’s mother said her prayers have been answered as her daughter is safe and accounted for.

“I am just happy she is home and was not hurt. She is safe and okay, but she is not talking and saying much right now,” the relieved woman said.

Hinds, a mother of five said that the case was still open and police officers are continuing their investigations.

Lezama is a student of the San Fernando East Secondary School.
