Parents repeat call for word on daughter in Germany
This is the only
photo Christine’s mother has of her
By Feona Morrison
The family of 31-year-old Christine Erulin has not heard from her since April 2015. Fourteen years ago, Christine who was just 14 migrated to Germany to live with her father Stephane and his wife. But in 2015, Christine stopped calling her mother and countless calls to her phone went unanswered.
Worst yet, her mother is unable to find her Facebook account; it also appears as though Christine has stopped chatting with her friends here in Guyana.
Christine’s mother, Farida Mohamed and her stepfather Rudolph Fanfair are extremely worried about her.
In fact, they find it strange that the young woman would want to cut ties with her family.
They believe that something is seriously wrong with her and say that they are depending on the media and the public for assistance with locating their loved one. Christine who was born in French Guiana grew up here.
According to her mother, “I had one phone number for her. But every time I call it, nobody would answer. I even wrote letters and sent them to her father’s address, but they all came back.
Her Facebook account has also been deleted.” The mother recalled that her daughter would usually call her to send greetings for her birthday day, Mother’s Day, Christmas and New Years and other special occasions. She added that her daughter had promised to send her photographs of herself, but never did.
Mohamed is depressed at the situation and can’t think of a reason as to why her daughter would stop communicating with her. She and her daughter shared a good bond, Mohamed expressed. “I have never had any strange conversations with her. From time to time I would call her stepmother and she would tell me that Christine is stressed out and that she was moving out to go and live on her own since she had turned 18.”
Asked if the stepmother disclosed why Christine was stressed, Mohamed replied “no”, adding that the woman told her to enquire of her daughter about the problem. The woman said that she recalled having a conversation with her daughter who told her that she was undergoing training to become a waitress at a restaurant in Germany.
“I want her father to make contact with me. I want Christine to make contact with me. I keep getting bad dreams about her.
The last time I dreamt that she was dressed in all black, chained and unconscious.” According to Mohamed, she has made attempts to contact her daughter’s father who runs a blooming construction business in Cologne, Germany, but to no avail.
She said that she has sent emails to the father’s business as well as messages to his Facebook and Instagram accounts, but has gotten no response.
She said that she has also reached out to her daughter’s stepmother, Angie on Facebook and has not gotten a reply.
Mohamed has described her daughter as a very kind-hearted individual who kept her loved ones close.
For this reason, she is finding it hard to accept that her daughter would stop communicating with her family in Guyana, and believes that something is genuinely amiss with her.
“Christine, your mother wants you to know that she and your brothers miss you very much and love you more than words can say. Your family wants to hear from you to know for certain that you are doing okay,” the woman cried.
This publication had tried reaching out to Christine’s father and step mother via their Facebook page since February.
To date, there has been no response. Efforts were made by this reporter to contact Christine, the call however, was forwarded to the answering machine.
This publication also sent a message to her father’s business email but has not received a reply. Christine’s mother and stepfather have since pleaded with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or someone in authority to intervene.
According to the mother, she has reached out to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help and is still waiting for a phone call.
Mohamed also claimed that she reached out to a representative of the German Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago, but was told that nothing can be done since her daughter was an adult. Anyone with information that may help with contacting Christine is asked to call or message her mother on 592-612-9754, or her stepfather on 592-649-0874.
