Concerns Deepen For Missing Children
posted (September 7, 2010)
There is no good news to report tonight in the case of Benjamin and Ophelia Rash, the missing children from San Marcos Village in the Toledo District. The children have been missing for eight days and the community remains gravely concerned and agitated. They feel that they have been disrespected by the police who they say did not act quickly enough on the report of the missing children.

As we reported, Their father, Pedro Rash a farmer of San Marcos Village in Toledo, reported the 9 and 11 year old missing last Monday August 30th. They had been sent to Punta Gorda Town to sell lime and craboo and they have not been seen since 3:45 that afternoon when they were trying to catch a ride to go back home to San Marcos Village.

Police say they have deployed over 100 police officers and recruits to assist in the search. And while it has been going on intensively since last week Thursday - still there is no trace of Benjamin and Ophelia.
