Goldburn Tasher, son
"Tuesday she went and she did not come back, when she goes, she usually comes back, so from in the evening when I came I sleep by myself, and then my mom has not come home yet. I started to think about her and worry about her, and she still has not reached home up until today."

"This isn't the first time though that she has gone somewhat missing?"
Goldburn Tasher, son
"Well this is the first time she has gone like that, because the last time she went on a trip about six months ago, she ended up in Carmelita Village and those places, but she came back and from then she never went. Every day she usually go out of the house and she comes back in the evening time, she comes back like around 4-5 - she is already home."
