"Last time that I saw him is for father's day, we gone to my house, he come here first because we did a little lunch. So in then night he gone to my house, I give him thing to make him eat and he said okay I'm going to my house because he is a person that like drink. We tell he sometimes you know stop drink, pa stop drink."

Jovanna Witzil
"Sometimes, in the day he's good but in the night like; the friends that he have, they say they're friends, so every time he go drink and thing."

"You think that something happened to him? You know while he was drinking, he got into a fight and somebody harmed him, what do you think happened to your dad?"

Jovanna Witzil
"I don't think, I pray to god and I say I hope nothing happened to him because sometimes fishermen, to make they don't see him, like he the drink in the street, they say oh let's go and fish, so they go like one week but they come back. So whole of this week I try to ask his friends, if they see him, they said they haven't seen him from nearly 2 weeks."

"Do you know if he went on a fishing trip or something? Does he usually go fishing?"

Jovanna Witzil
"Yeah he goes fishing but we ask his friends he go fishing and they said no, they no see him."
