Martha Joseph.
A 13-year-old female from Morne Du Don/Agard in Castries, who was reported missing since 10 a.m. Thursday (June 4), has been found.
Martha Joseph, a student of the Entrepot Secondary School, was found by herself in Castries city by a cousin at around 4 p.m., the teen’s father, Timothy Joseph, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO).
Martha was taken into custody, questioned by police and released.
When asked why his daughter did not return home Thursday, Timothy said she hasn’t given him a reason as yet because the lawmen were interviewing her.
The teen was home with a cousin when she reportedly told the relative that she was going “up the road” and never returned home.
In an earlier interview, Timothy said this was the first time his daughter was missing.
An official report was made with the police Friday morning.
