It has now been 21 days since 23-year-old Lidahni Martinez of Dangriga Town was last spotted, and law enforcement officials have issued a public call for two people to come forward for questioning as the missing person investigation enters its fourth week.
Martinez was officially reported missing to authorities on April 7, 2026. According to official police records, the last confirmed sighting of the young man occurred just after 3 p.m. on Friday, March 27, when he left his residential address and got into an unregistered sport utility vehicle. Since that day, there has been no contact from Martinez, and no confirmed sightings have been reported to investigators.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith confirmed in a press statement that investigators have already collected dozens of witness statements as part of the active probe. “We have recorded a number of statements in connection with this ongoing investigation and are now seeking two individuals who we believe may be able to assist with the investigation,” Smith said.
Investigators are also looking into a potential link between Martinez’s disappearance and that of another local resident, Deborah “Bree” Arthurs, who went missing on the exact same day. When asked about a possible connection between the two cases, Smith said the connection has not been ruled out, but investigators have not reached a definitive conclusion. “We have not been able to conclusively come down on a position as it relates to that,” Smith added.
Like Martinez, Arthurs was last seen entering a silver SUV on March 27 before vanishing. Her case has seen no major public breakthroughs and remains unsolved as of this update.
Both missing person cases have now stretched past the three-week mark, with no concrete, confirmed leads released to the public by law enforcement. Belizean police are urging any member of the public with even minor information related to either disappearance to reach out immediately. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 922, or directly to the closest local police station.
