The family is not obligated to tell the public anything.

Laleta left her husband's home on the morning of September 1 without telling him where she was going.

When she did not return home that night, her husband Robin assumed that she had gone to visit her sister.

The next day the husband got the news from the press like everyone else.

Laleta had got a free ticket to Kaieteur from her cousin who works at Ogle airport.

I don't know Robin personally but I met his late father and I used to visit his mother's home as a kid, before she got married. BTW, Robin's mother is coloured/mulatto.

Gil, today I was in discussion with some people regarding formulating domestic violence/suicide prevention kits for our region, to be distributed freely,  as is done with other medical services.

It was emphasised  that depression is a disease and should be treated as other diseases. I agree.

The GOG should implement a similar program and I am sure NGOs will facilitate the fund.

Flood Guyana with these kits and if one life is saved, it serves it purpose.

Its difficult getting people to come to us for assistance, so lets go to them.

We did this with a Chiapas Indigenous craft program in Europe, with excellent results.       

I am assuming it was a regular habit of hers to visit her sister.

Even if the guy had called her sister that evening, that call could not have saved Laleta's life because she was already missing at Kaieteur.

Anyway, both sides of the family are mourning and we must give them that space now. If and when they decide to talk to the public, they will do so.

I have to agree with Spinner Gil.

Let us give them space during this most difficult time.

You guys act like a loaded pair in a manhole, fighting for an 'entry point'.

If you believe the family should be given space, why did you start this thread ?   Put your brains gear for a change.

You might not know this, but sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the best option.
