Authorities in Belize have successfully located 13-year-old Ana Ramos, a first-form student at Belmopan Baptist High School who had been reported missing since last Friday. The Belize Police Department confirmed the positive development in an official statement released this afternoon.
According to police communications, Ramos was found in northern Belize and is confirmed to be in safe condition. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to examine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
The teenager was last seen on Friday morning after leaving for school, prompting her family to file a missing person report over the weekend when she failed to return home. Earlier investigative efforts had revealed surveillance footage showing the young student boarding a bus at the Belmopan bus terminal, providing crucial leads for the search operation.
Ingrid Ávila, Ramos’s mother, has confirmed that the family is currently en route to the Corozal police station where additional details are expected to be provided by law enforcement officials upon their arrival. The family had previously appealed to the public through media channels for assistance in locating the missing teen.
The successful resolution of this case has brought relief to the local community that had followed the developments with growing concern. Further updates regarding the investigation are anticipated following the family’s meeting with police authorities.
