Ajarat said the girl had been living with them since she was four years old, adding that she was surprised by her disappearance. She said it was the first time she would leave home without returning.
She said, “She went to school on Monday and has not returned. Her teachers told us that she didn’t come to school that day.
 
“But a cobbler around here told us that he fixed her torn sandal that morning. The cobbler said she seemed to be in a hurry as she told him that somebody was waiting for her.
 
“She had never done anything like this, although her teachers had told us that she was keeping bad company; and I warned her to stop associating with bad people.
 
“Her parents had divorced. His father died while she was six months old. She had been living with us for 11 years now. Her attitude that morning did not show that she planned to do anything.”

“On Tuesday, we went back to the school. The teachers at the school told us that she had become a wayward girl and had been moving with a friend who had been expelled from the school.
 
“We reported at the police station on our estate and we were told to come back on Wednesday if we didn’t see her.
