Missing bride-to-be found in Pangasinan ‘alive and well’
More than two weeks after a woman disappeared just days before her wedding, the police finally found the bride-to-be in Pangasinan province.
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said on Monday that it had sent a team to fetch Sherra de Juan from Sison town, after it received information on her whereabouts.
“Earlier … Ms. Sherra’s boyfriend and brother went to the police station [in Fairview] and reported that they received a call saying that Ms. Sherra was found in … Pangasinan,” QCPD director Col. Randy Glenn Silvio told reporters at Camp Karingal.
Silvio did not identify the tipster, saying only that they received confirmation about the information when they contacted the family of the missing bride-to-be.
In a separate social media post, the QCPD announced that police officers from its Fairview station and members of De Juan’s family left Manila immediately to fetch her.
The team reached Sison town in Pangasinan shortly past 4 p.m., the QCPD Public Information Office told the Inquirer in a text message.
Medical check
“Our instruction was to pick her up and have the medical officer check on her once she is at home and determine what medical attention she needs,” Silvio said.
He added, however, that she was “alive and well.”
“She has made some revelations, but they are not yet consistent. Perhaps we will address them later. Once she is here, we will interview her. She might just be tired,” Silvio said.
De Juan was last seen around 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 10 near the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Atherton Street in North Fairview, Quezon City.
She had said she was going to a mall to buy her wedding shoes. She was set to marry her fiancé Mark Arjay Reyes on Dec. 14 after a nearly decade-long relationship.
Reyes had appealed online to the public for help in finding De Juan, even offering a P150,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.
