Missing Sophia shopowner sends relatives in search frenzy
The relatives of 58-year-old shopowner, Claudette Fernandes, are fearful of the fate of the woman after she disappeared, without a trace, from her Lot 191 ‘B’ Field, Sophia residence on Saturday night last.
The woman was reportedly last seen watching the Limacol CPL Finals cricket game in her shop, accompanied by a male friend.
According to information received, speculation of the woman’s whereabouts were first made by her daughter, Wendy Fernandes, on Sunday morning, after she arrived at the home and discovered that her mother was not there.
Missing: Claudette Fernandes
The younger Fernandes acknowledged that she was not initially puzzled about her mother’s absence, as it is customary that the woman would go to the city market to purchase items for her shop.
“I would normally keep the shop for her till she come back from market,” Wendy Fernandes explained.
When the expected time of her arrival home came and went, however, the woman’s daughter said that she instantly became alarmed, as it was strange that her mother would spend such a lengthy period at the market.
The younger Fernandes reported that after inquiring, from other family members, of her mother’s whereabouts and receiving responses in the negative, she made her way to the Turkeyen Police Station to lodge a missing person report.
Family members had also taken to contacting the male friend who was, reportedly, last seen with the woman, however he has claimed that he does not know where she is.
Upon making further contact with the Police Station again during the past few days, with no additional information to be received, Wendy Fernandes said that she and another relative hesitantly visited the city’s hospital and the hospital’s mortuary, half -hoping that they are able to locate the older Fernandes.
The hospital, however, bore no sign of the woman.
The relatives are appealing to the public that anyone with information about Claudette Fernandes make contact with them by telephone numbers 685-7476; 692-3575; 682-2628 or the nearest police station.
