Father Tracks Down Missing Child in August Pine Ridge

Thirteen-year-old Lissy Suntecun has been found safe after going missing earlier this week, which has brought a wave of relief to her family and the wider community. The teenager vanished on Monday afternoon after leaving school during lunchtime, prompting a frantic search effort.

With only a single lead, and that being a white pickup truck seen near the school, Lissy’s father took the investigation into his own hands. He tracked the vehicle to August Pine Ridge and alerted police, who searched a residence in the village and found Lissy alive and in the company of a relative.

“Yesterday we looked into about the car. My son went to August Pine Ridge,” said Lissy’s grandmother, Oralia Rosado. “When my son arrived in August Pine Ridge, he found the car and then he went to report to the police.”

As previously reported, Lissy had told friends that an aunt was picking her up that day. The family is now waiting for police to complete their investigation into what exactly happened.

The child is currently in police custody and is expected to be released back to her family.

“We’re just glad she’s safe,” Rosado said.
