And finally tonight, he left his children at home and headed for work, only to learn that his daughters had left home shortly after en route to Guatemala.

San Jose Orange Walk resident, Nelson Pech, father to 15 and 8 year old daughters, filed a missing persons report over the weekend after leaving his girls in the care of relatives to go to work, only to be informed that the girls had gone missing.

According to Pech after reviewing security footage from the area they observed a car had come to pick the girls up at 5:00am and left. He claims that he did not authorize anyone to take his children without his permission, and believes that the kids were assisted by their mother's relatives in Guatemala to leave the country. Our colleagues from CTV3 spoke with Pech today and he says that with the help of authorities they've managed to confirm that the girls are in Guatemala and they are currently working on getting them back to Belize.

Pech says this is not the first time that this has happened.
