A countrywide search is under way for a 24-year-old Georgetown woman who disappeared without a trace last Monday.
Tristell Manifold left her 232 South Road, Bourda residence in her red Mazda RX8, PNN 6943, just after 21:00 hrs on Monday. She did not tell anyone where she was going, but she had assured relatives that she would have been back home the following morning.
Today there is no trace of Manifold or her car and worried relatives are desperate for any word on her whereabouts.
According to her sister, Louanna Cadogan, leaving at nights and returning the following morning was nothing unusual for Manifold. However, she would always maintain contact with family members via telephone calls or text massages. This time no such connection is being made.
Cadogan told Kaieteur News last night that when her sister did not return home the following day as expected, they were not too worried.
“But the next day (Wednesday) when we realized that nobody had made contact with her, even by BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), we got worried,” Cadogan said.
Manifold’s friends and other relatives were contacted and still there was no clue as to where she was, as no one reported seeing her after Monday night. The police were contacted and an official missing person report was made.
It is not clear whether Manifold has left the country with her car via the border crossing at Moleson Creek, Corentyne.
And since she had visited Suriname recently, relatives are not ruling out that she has returned there.
However, the no-contact scenario coupled with the fact that she did indicate that she would have returned home the following day has left relatives and friends baffled.
“She left with her car and that was it. She didn’t pack nothing,” her sister said.
She is asking anyone with information on her sister’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or telephone numbers 601-9035; 673-6034; 672-3680 or 226-7231.
