Realising that hours had passed, the woman recalled, Maria’s little sister was sent to check on her but she was not in the washroom. The aunt continued, that they became worried and began searching the house for the teen and observed that her clothes were scattered in her bedroom.
“We checked with all her friends, acquaintances and other relatives but no one has a clue of where she is or might be,” related the aunt.

Her relatives received another call yesterday in the early morning hours that Maria was at the “Sophia Blacka,” the stretch of the Lamaha Canal bordering Sophia, Lamaha Gardens and Guyhoc Park. Her aunt said that they rushed to the area but once again, there were no sign of Maria. They spent the entire morning searching she added but up to press time, they could not locate the teen.
Maria Sampson’s relatives related that they are becoming more worried and concerned about her safety as the hours pass. They have since lodged a missing person’s report at the Turkeyen Police Station. Maria was last seen wearing a pink and white top, damaged blue jeans and a pair of black slippers.
