Point Fortin girls missing

TRUSTING that her children would be safe, a woman allowed her two daughters to go with a close friend to a nearby park on Saturday. That was the last time she saw nine-year-old Onessa and 11-year-old Onilla. Police sources said they were treating the incident as a kidnapping. Newsday understands the 45-year-old “PH” driver had been living at the girl’s home, at  Main Road, Cap-de-Ville, for the past 18 months. Mary Lo Anthony, 40, who lives with her common-law-husband, Terrance Haynes, told police around 4 pm the man asked her to take her daughters to a play park  in Point Fortin.

Anthony said she agreed because he frequently took her girls out and brought them back home safely. Her daughters left with him in a car, which he worked as a taxi. After her children did not come home, Anthony and her husband conducted their own searches. On Sunday afternoon, Haynes spotted the girls in the car, driven by the suspect, at Quarry Village. He told police when he tried to stop the car to get the girls out, the man sped off. Haynes’ own investigations revealed that the owner of the car found his vehicle parked in his yard yesterday morning, but the suspect was no where to be found. Both girls are pupils of the Cap-de-Ville Government Primary school. Up to late yesterday the woman had not been contacted by the suspect. Point Fortin police are continuing investigations.
