A 15-year-old girl has been missing since last Monday (March 22), when she went to school and then vanished.

The disappearance of Anita Thakurdin has left her family completely baffled and they are now appealing to anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts to come forward with the information.

Navita Singh last saw her daughter on Monday morning, when she left home with her 12-year-old brother to attend classes at the Cummings Lodge Secondary School. Singh returned home a little before 6 pm that day and only found her son, who told her he could not find his older sister.

The school was already shut by that time so the desperate family visited the homes of teachers and classmates of the girl, who was described as a very quiet student. It was then they discovered that the young girl had no classes scheduled for that day.

Apart from making a report to the police, Singh and other relatives continued to revisit the school in hopes of some clues to the girl's whereabouts but with no luck.

Singh says this is the first time her daughter has ever been away from her the home and she is asking anyone with information to contact the police or the family at 220-3275, 220-9017, 220-2971, 220-4595 or 626-6904.
