THE woman reported missing earlier this month has returned home, with the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) confirming that she was not kidnapped.
DCPO spokesperson P/Cpt. Hazel Caballero Tuazon confirmed on December 10, 2024, that the woman, identified as "Marie," returned to her family early that morning. She was found to be in good health, and authorities clarified that she had not been abducted.
"Yes nakauli na ang allegedly nga na-missing. Wala ni siya gi-kidnap (Yes, she has returned. She was not kidnapped)," Tuazon said during a press briefing.
According to a progress report from the Buhangin Police Station, "Marie’s" mother and husband arrived at the station at 7 AM on December 10 to inform officers that she had come home safely.
"Marie" was reported missing on December 5, 2024, in Cabantian, Davao City, sparking rumors of a kidnapping. However, these were later dispelled by the police.
On the evening of December 6, Paul Simon Ortiz Go, 35, reported his wife’s disappearance to the Buhangin Police Station. An initial investigation revealed that "Marie" had visited a mall in Lanang on the afternoon of December 5 to meet a friend. Her friend later dropped her off at a store in Cabantian, where she intended to purchase dog food. JPC
