Family wants help to find missing man, Edgar David Gonzalez
Edgar David Gonzalez of Santa Elena Town left his family on August eighth en route to the BWEL Gas Company in Belmopan where he is employed. But Gonzalez never made it to work and he hasn’t returned home. It’s been almost three weeks and his family fears that something tragic may have happened, but they are hanging to hope. News five spoke via phone to Gonzalez’ wife, Maria Ochoa who says that she and their five children are trying to be strong and they are not giving up.

Hope he is just a runaway father and husband. With the state of affairs in Belize, it will be a relief to find him alive.
