Two men from Salvapan are missing tonight - and their families are gravely concerned.
Marvin Cantes and John Raymundo - cousins, who are both in their early 30's were last seen on Wednesday heading eastbound to Belize City.
But on Thursday morning police found the vehicle they were in abandoned with the engine running on the road to the Sanitary landfill at mile 25 on the Phillip Goldson Highway. There was a trace of blood in the vehicle and one of their house keys was also inside. But no trace of the two men.
And, since yesterday - their family has been desperately searching the area. We met them out there today:
Rosa Esmeralda Alonso, Ex-Common-Law - Juan Reymundo
"That they found a car that he rented to him here in this area and that the car had some bloodstains. Well, we asked if we can come and check the scene. Maybe we see something that we might recognize."
"So we came, the car's owner, Elmer, and me, we came out here and they said they already have the car there. So after that we stayed searching the area. We searched from here until Cotton Tree and nothing, nothing, nothing, no, nothing out of the way, nothing, no prints, no clothes, no phone, nothing."
"My hopes that he is drinking or something that can be right. So I was getting ready because he would drink normal like always drink with his friends, but he never miss home. It no matter if he reached three o'clock, he will reach home."
Jules Vasquez
"Was Juan or Marvin involved in anything illegal?"
Rosa Esmeralda Alonso
"Not that the family knows about. We have been asking, we have been inquiring their cousins because normally he doesn't drink with outsiders. It's always hang out with his cousins. That's it."
"All I am asking if anyone found the phone, anything, just turn it on. Just answer a call. Anything. We've been searching everywhere, but we can't find nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing."
Jules Vasquez
"What's your greatest fear?"
Rosa Esmeralda Alonso
"I don't want to fear. I know. But it's hard, especially how things have been these days. And you find out that, oh, somebody missing and then, you know, it's not that good news when they find them. At this point, we just want to know where they are and we just want to find them."
"His mother is very worried."
Raymundo has four children, Cante has three.
Anyone who has useful information about their possible whereabouts is asked to call 628-7016.
