Today makes it exactly three years since 16 year old Kadisha Saragoza mysteriously disappeared. The second form high school student went missing on January 20th 2011 and since then her whereabouts have been a mystery. The circumstances would lead most to lose hope and conclude dismally that she had somehow met her end, but a mother's hope never dies, and Andrea Saragoza still hasn't given up. She today shared her earnest hope that her daughter will return safe one day.

"I came here today because it has been 3 years that she has been missing; January 20, 2011. Since then I haven't heard anything."

"How difficult is this for you as a mother?"
Andrea Saragoza, mother of Kadisha Saragoza
"It's really difficult because without any trace or closure it's really hard. Not a day goes by that I am not thinking about my daughter. I eat and sleep and I wake up and think about her."
Monica Bodden
"You have hopes that she may still be alive?"
Andrea Saragoza, mother of Kadisha Saragoza
"Yes I have hopes that she still is alive, but I really want to know what happened to her out there; somebody has her or something, I would really want somebody to come out and tell me what happen to her because I know that someone knows what happen to her."
Monica Bodden
"Can you recall this day 3 years ago the last time you saw your daughter?"
Andrea Saragoza, mother of Kadisha Saragoza
"It was an evening. The last time I saw her was the 20th 2011 - all of us were at our mom's house and I was there with her because my mom had just come from the states about 3 days before and we were sitting on the stairs joking around. She usually goes to take care of my grandchildren, but that day I told her that I was going ahead. I went and I waited for her but she didn't come because she had recently got involve with her boyfriend and she went to his apartment and she never did come back home that night."
"I know something went wrong with that boy and her because he was a deportee and you hear all kinds of rumors about him. He went on a drug move the night and I don't know what happen next. I know he is involved with something with her."
Monica Bodden
"No answers from the police?"
Andrea Saragoza, mother of Kadisha Saragoza
"No answers, they only questioned him, but they didn't even help me to that extent to push the issue. Like they just give it up because they say that she ran away, but I know in my heart that she didn't ran away."
Kadisha was a second form student at Maude Williams High School. Again, if anyone has information on her whereabouts you can contact the nearest Police station or the family at telephone number: 660-2221.
