UPDATE: Late this evening Oswald Young personally tracked down his daughter and they are both heading home to St. Mathew's Village.
A father is tonight in a desperate search for his teenage daughter who has been missing since Tuesday. 14 year old Rasheeda Young left her home in Saint Matthew's Village, which is just outside of Belmopan, sometime during the day on Tuesday and is yet to return. The last time her father Oswald Young saw her was that morning when he left for his ranch in the village. Though he believes she is in the company of friends, he today made a tearful plea for her safe return home.
Oswald Young, Rasheeda's Father
"I don't know what to say at this present moment because I didn't get to speak to her from I left home on the 22nd which was on Tuesday. When I left I told my other daughter Annalee to take care of her because she usually gives trouble at home. Annalee is 16 and she always assists me while I am away so I put her in charge as I left on the way to my farm."
Q: If Rasheeda or anyone who knows where she is watching what would you like to tell them?

Oswald Young,
[Sighs] "I would like to tell Rasheeda I miss her…[Crying]…and I would like her to come back home. I hope nothing bad happens to her. I ask the public to assist me and if anyone sees her to just call 603-1691 or the nearest police station."
Rasheeda is a standard five student and this was exam week.
