The Federal Bureau of Investigation released yesterday photographs that it hoped would lead to new information about two young sisters who disappeared from Saipan more than five years ago. According to an FBI news release, “the photographs were taken inside a Saipan store. The young girl seen in the photographs may have been accompanied by a Caucasian woman, according to a witness.”
The FBI later released the following statement: “Thank you for your help in disseminating this information. The quick response from the community has helped us identify the girl in the photograph and determine she is not connected to the Luhk case.”
Faloma and Maleina Luhk, who were ages 10 and 9 at the time, disappeared while waiting for a school bus to arrive on the morning of May 25, 2011. The disappearance sparked a massive community and law enforcement effort to locate the girls.
The investigation into the missing girls is ongoing. The FBI is urging anyone in the community who recognizes the girl in these new photos or has any information to contact the FBI’s Saipan Office at 670-322-6934.
