The family of 56 year-old Carmelita Simplis is worried about her whereabouts because she left home on Monday morning and still hasn't returned.

The complication is that she has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and more than 10 years ago, she was found near the Belize-Mexico border.

Her daughter came to speak to us today, because they are concerned that she may get further this time because she left with her travel and bank documents.

Here's what she told us:

Janine Simplis - Daughter of Missing Woman
"On Monday, at around 6 - 7 o'clock, we came out of the room - because we were getting ready to go to work - we noticed that she changed, and she left, but she never came back. We waited for the night to come to see if she would come back, but she didn't. So we started getting more suspicious that - because she is mentally unstable. We were very frightened that this was the situation because this isn't the first time that she went missing. She went missing eleven years ago, but due to the urgency and the fact that we aired it on the news, she was found quickly, and she was found at the border. Now we are afraid that she might be heading there again because I think that she has her passport and her bank book. And I would really want that if anyone knows where she is; if you can please contact us at 205 - 2039 or 627 - 6748, because mein, just not knowing is killing us."
