Siparia schoolgirl missing after trip to bakery

The form four student of the Penal Secondary School has been missing for the past two days and worried relatives are fearful that she may have been abducted. According to police reports at about 1.30 pm on Tuesday, Sanchez left her Anthony Branch Trace, Syne Village home. She told her siblings that she was going to the bakery. Speaking with Newsday yesterday, Sanchez’s mother Anjela Ramlakha said when she did not see her daughter return after a few minutes, she became worried.

“I tried to call her cellphone and the phone just kept ringing.

It is not like her to not answer her phone,” she said.

Ramlakha said she called out to her elder son and asked him to walk to the bakery and look for his sister. Shane, 19, returned within a few minutes.

“He did not find her at the bakery.

This is when I started to panic.

I continued to call her phone and I still got no answer. I know my daughter, this is not like her not to answer her phone.” Ramlakha said she was unable to sleep comfortably on Tuesday night.

“How can I sleep when I know my daughter, a 16-year-old, is out there and some stranger has her against her will? She is just a little girl still going to school. She said that her daughter has never ran away from home.

“Salina is not that type of girl to just run away. I know deep down in my heart someone has my little girl. Please send her home, please don’t hurt her,” the emotional mother said. Yesterday family members searched several areas in Penal and Siparia. Ramlakha said she also contacted her daughter’s friends at school but no one has heard from or seen her. A report was made at the Siparia Police Station.

Sanchez is of mixed descent, five feet four inches tall and light brown in complexion. She has wavy shoulder length hair. She has a long scar on her back and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and blue short pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call 800-TIPS or contact the police at 555, 999, 911 or any police station.
