Community Response

The local community has responded with growing concern and support, sharing posts and updates on social media to help raise awareness and expand the search. Neighbors and family friends have joined in distributing flyers and checking nearby parks, stores, and public spaces.

Authorities are continuing to investigate whether there were any signs leading up to the disappearance that might point to a motive or risk factor. As of now, the focus remains firmly on locating Isabella, Meischon, and Alona and ensuring their safe return home.
