He said: “The family were all there at that thanksgiving service and Elo was with the maid, who took care of the three kids of the family.

“Cake was shared for the children during the thanksgiving service and the maid went to get the kids’ slices. But when she returned, she discovered that Elo was not on her seat again.

He added that the family had been in distress as a result of the incident, urging anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact the police.
