Girl, 11, missing for over two weeks, US-based father says

Gabriela Pertab

After more than two weeks of failed attempts to contact his 11-year-old daughter, United States resident Brian Pertab has returned home to find her as he fears that she is being kept from him by her mother.

Neither Gabriela Pertab, a student of Marian Academy, nor her mother, Venezuelan national Veronica Escobar, of 229 D’Andrade Street, Newtown, Kitty, have been seen or heard from for close to three weeks, he said.

According to a Facebook post made by him on Thursday afternoon, the family’s dog, Snowy, is also missing.
