Series of announcements were also caused to be made on local radio stations but they all yielded no results.

“She was discovered missing around 4:00 am on Thursday by her mother which was very unusual so she combed the entire surroundings for her but to no avail. There were initial hopes that she might have taken a walk around or something else but that hope later became a mirage. The strange thing is that she left her phone behind making it difficult to track her. We have done everything humanly possible but we are not making any headway”, the source revealed.
