Volunteers to search for
Leta Cordes on Sunday
PHILIPSBURG--The Voluntary Corps St. Maarten VKS will be conducting an extensive search for missing US citizen Leta Lynn Cordes on Sunday. Residents are being encouraged to volunteer and join in the search.
Police spokesman Chief Inspector Johan “Janchi” Leonard said that as a concerned citizen and representative of the local Police Force, he had sent the search request to VKS Commander Jean Illidge, who had accepted and assigned VKS member Allan Richardson as coordinator of the search.
Serious volunteers are invited to show up at Sundial School in Philipsburg on Sunday, February 3, at 6:00am with appropriate hiking gear.
Leonard stressed that locating Cordes was very important, as this ongoing case could have severe international implications for the island.
Cordes has been missing since Saturday, January 12. In the meantime, her husband Frank Cordes has announced a US $5,000 reward for information about his wife’s whereabouts.
