Aubrey Caroline Sacco, 25, who was on a trek in Lantang National Park, has been missing since April 12.[break]
“Unless we get proof that will establish the death of my daughter, I´ll believe that she is alive. And our family is not going to give up till the end,” said Mrs. Sacco.
This is the second time that family members of the missing American have came to Nepal to pressure Nepali authorities to find her. Sacco is currently holding meetings with high-level police officers and government authorities.
“My daughter is missing and we can´t do anything without the police because we are guests in Nepal. But the police personnel are acting as if they don´t know anything,” said a disappointed Sacco. “The police authorities were persuaded to intensify their search last year also but nothing has been done since two years,” she adds.
High-level police officers deny that they are not doing anything to find the missing American trekker.
“The search for Aubrey has been on top of our priority list. But we are facing difficulties in the investigation due to rough terrain in Langtang,” said an official at Police Headquarters at Naxal.
Police say they will continue the investigations until they find the body or other proof establishing Aubrey´s death.
The Sacco family, who are from Colorado, have announced a Rs. 2 million reward for information on the missing woman.
