WHERE IS MUMMY?

Hinds, 41, a labourer with the Community-based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (CEPEP) left home last week Tuesday and has not been seen since. All three made an impassioned plea yesterday for her to come back home.

“We want to know where our mummy is, we want someone to help us find our mother,” Kylon told Newsday.

The siblings were brought to this newspaper’s head-office yesterday by their uncle-in-law Ian Hunte who also appealed for the public’s help to locate Hinds. Hunte is married to Hinds’ sister.

“She isn’t the kind of person who would go out and lime for so long. So we are all very concerned right now for her safety,” Hunte said.

When Hinds did not return home on Tuesday evening, last week, relatives checked with neighbours in the quiet Caura community where they live, but no one had seen or heard from the woman.

Hunte said that the disappearance of Hinds has affected all in the family especially the woman’s three children, who instead of playing or liming during the August vacation, spend everyday at home waiting for Hinds to come home. “We’ve just been coping with her disappearance right now. The children have been going through sleepless nights, crying, they can’t eat...

we don’t know if she is alive or dead,” Hunte said.

Confirming that a Missing person report was filed at the Tunapuna police station last week Wednesday, Hunte said, “I am really close to this family and she (Rhonda) is sort of like a second sister to me, wherever I am you would see her.” Hunte, who is an electrician by profession, said that he and his wife are doing all they can to support Hinds’ three children.

“It has been really very trying but we’re all doing the best we can to keep their spirits up.” Hunte said that daily checks with the Tunapuna police have yielded no leads on Hinds’ whereabouts. Rhondelle who attends Tunapuna RC Primary School said he was very sad by his mother’s disappearance and is praying for her safe return.

When Newsday checked with Tunapuna police, the officer confirmed that a report had been made on Hinds’ disappearance and suggested we check with the Anti-Kidnapping Unit (AKU) but no one from the Unit was willing to discuss the issue.
