Tonight, the family of 14 year-old Anna Aguilar continues to worry about her whereabouts after she went missing on Tuesday. Aguilar was supposed to go to her school at Our Lady of the Way RC Primary in Ladyville, but she never showed up when classes started.
Since then, her family has been looking for her, and today, they spoke to us to make a public plea for her safe return.
Christina Quinote - Anna's Mother
"She went missing from Tuesda morning. I sent her to school and she didn't arrive at school. When I came out of work in the evening I asked my mom for Anna and she said that Anna had not gotten there as yet. I started to cry and wanted to know where my daughter was. I started to investigate with all the family and she wasn't with her different families. I went to the Police Station and I gave a statement that my daughter was missing. All I want is for Anna to come back home. [Message to Anna from her mother] 'Anna, Mamma misses you, Granny misses you, your sisters say to come back home.' "
Although police are treating her as a runaway, her family told us that this is the first time that she's gone missing. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the nearest police station. The family can be contacted directly at 630-0673.
