Police to continue probe into unsolved homicides and missing persons
Newly sworn-in Department of Public Safety Commissioner Robert A. Guerrero said police officers will continue to pursue investigations into the unsolved homicides and cases of missing persons.
In an interview, Guerrero said officers are continuously looking into the unsolved homicides.
The commissioner said police officers likewise will not stop investigating cases of missing persons on Saipan as well as other unsolved crimes.
Guerrero did not elaborate on DPS’ operations.
On Nov. 3, 2014, over 150 Chinese farmers and owners of various businesses came out in a long vehicule convoy to express their anger and frustration over three cases of double homicides and other unsolved murders involving Chinese nationals on Saipan.
Two other unsolved murders last year also involved locals.
James Patrick Deleon Guerrero, a security guard, was fatally shot by a masked man during an attempted robbery at Royal Poker in Afetnas, just a day after police discovered that Ana Maria Limes was killed in her house in Oleai.
The killer of Deleon Guerrero has yet to be identified.
Sylvester Rogopes Sablan, the husband of Limes tagged as the person of interest in Limes’ murder, has yet to be charged in this case.
On missing person cases, this May marks the fifth year of the mysterious disappearance of Faloma and Maleina Luhk near a public school bus pavilion in As Teo.
In June 2014, Japanese sisters Natsuki and Chinatsu Yamada disappeared. Their rental car was found abandoned at Wing Beach in Marpi.
Among other missing persons is Mei Hua Zhao, a 25-year-old scuba diver instructor who was reported missing since October 2015.
On illegal drugs, Guerrero said his predecessor, James C. Deleon Guerrero, declared a war on “ice” and that under declaration is still on under his administration.
“We will continue to work with other agencies in combating drugs most importantly the “ice” issue,” he said.
The commissioner said they will work collaboratively with the war on “ice” task force that was formed by Gov. Ralph DLG. Torres.
“All law enforcement agencies will work together to battle this,” he said.
