A couple from Mt Hagen have appealed to the public to help find their daughter who went missing last Thursday at the Gordon’s Market in Port Moresby.
Crystal Daniel, aged 3, was last seen running out of the gate of Gordon’s Market around 5.30pm on Thursday afternoon.
Her mother, Jennifer Daniel who sells kaukau for a living at Gordons Market said that her daughter was playing with a couple of kids not far from where she was selling her produce.
“I was sorting out the kaukau on our market table for about a minute and when I looked up to where she was playing, I couldn’t see her anymore.”
Crystal’s mother said that it was unusual for her daughter to go missing because they always go to Gordon’s Market every day to sell their goods.
“Every day when we both come here to sell, she always plays with the other kids from the market not far from where I sit.”
On that Thursday afternoon, Crystal’s mother realized she was gone when she tried looking for her amongst the other kids playing.
It was then that she alerted others at the market.”
Her mother then made her way to the Gordons Police Station where she reported the matter and filed for a missing person’s report.
Crystal’s uncle, Jonah, has been assisting her mother in searching for her but unfortunately they have not received any feedback yet from anyone including the police.
Crystal’s father who is based up in Hagen also heard about the incident and has made his way to Port Moresby to search for his daughter.
The parents and family of Crystal have made an appeal to the general public to help find their missing daughter and to provide information of her whereabouts should they see her anywhere.
To date, there has been no word from the Police as well as their family members.
Crystal’s poster has been displayed around Gordons area where the search continues and the family has also put up a reward to anyone who finds her and brings her safely to her parents.
If anyone has seen or heard of Crystal’s whereabouts, please do not hesitate to contact her mother Jennifer on 71874851 or her uncle Jonah on 79190219 or alternatively alert the police at Gordon’s Police Station.
