"The same morning. Yes, I went to the Ladyville Police Station to do the report. Now, she called me 10 minutes after I did the report. She called me and told me that she was waiting for the bus and then she shut down the phone. Then she called station and said she's with a friend but she didn't say where."

"When she made a call yesterday and she said they got her in a room locked up and she said they tied her up and beat her. My husband said he doesn't know if somebody called. Her voice, it sounded like she was crying. I don't know if it's her voice. So I'm worried about her now. I'm asking that anyone who saw her to ask her come back home. She got me worried too much. I need to know if something bad happened to her or if she went to stay with someone, she should come back to tell me. Don't have me like this because I really think about her."

According to Galdamez this is not the first time her daughter has run away, she left home in March and was found weeks later in a house in Ladyville. If you know the whereabouts of Loani Alvarez you can call her parents at 660-5212 or 607-1246.
