posted (November 13, 2014)
Tonight a 15-year-old female high school student is missing and her parents believe she is with a police constable. Michael Wagner, the father of fourth former Vanessa Wagner became concerned when the student of Esperanza Village did not return home from school yesterday evening.

This morning the family made an official missing person report at the San Ignacio Police Station. Police then escorted them to the teenager's high school to press her friends for information about her whereabouts. That's when information emerged that Wagner had been having a Facebook relationship with a police constable. We note that this suspect is attached to the San Ignacio Police station and is on interdiction after he was charged with indecent assault of a 14 year old Cayo girl.

Now, he is believed to be with this 15 year old in parts unknown - the subject of profound concern for her father whom we spoke with today:..

Michael Wagner, father of missing teenage girl
"We kind of hang out until roughly midnight last night and then this morning about 4am I got up and went out and check again and then about 7am we went to the police because if we had gone to the police before we would have gotten anything done because it have to be like 24 hours before the police do anything right, as far as I know is the law in this country and so that's what happened and the police got involve, we went to high school and we met with the principal, the teacher and the student and when the police was questioning them that's when we got the information of who she went with."

"And that person is a police constable?"

Michael Wagner
"That's what we understand."

Monica Bodden
"Do you believe that your daughter is in the Cayo District, or do you believe that she....?"

Michael Wagner
"Well as far as the contacts are coming from, it seems that she is in the Belize District somewhere."

Monica Bodden
"You think she knows where she is?"

Michael Wagner
"No ma'am, she doesn't know because she can only describe the house that she is in and she doesn't know her surrounding because she does not know Belize City."

Anyone with information on Vanessa's whereabouts should call her father at 601-6539, or the family at 824 - 3164, or the nearest police station.
