Without evidence, victims, witnesses, or a confession, it is impossible to bring charges in cases like the disappearance of sisters Faloma and Maleina Luhk, according to FBI special agent Tom Simon yesterday.
Simon, however, did not elaborate on why the girls have not been not found and no one has been arrested yet despite several tips provided to the FBI and the Department of Public Safety just days after the disappearance.
“The good news is that the investigation continues,” the Hawaii-based Simon told Saipan Tribune in an email.
Police officer Jason Tarkong said yesterday that DPS Commissioner Ramon Mafnas did not provide him any updates regarding the investigation and search.
Tarkong said he also has no information whether DPS conducted a search operation over the weekend and yesterday.
DPS, meanwhile, is mum about any developments on the DPS employee who refused to undergo a lie detector test as part of the investigation into the girls’ disappearance.
Several days or weeks before the May 25 disappearance of the Luhk sisters, sources said the DPS employee’s wife and children left for the U.S. mainland.
This DPS employee, sources said, is somehow “related” to the missing girls.
Mafnas has refused to comment whether this employee is on the investigators’ top list of “persons of interest.”
The search for the 10-year-old Faloma and 9-year-old Maleina enters its sixth week tomorrow, Wednesday.
