The girls have yet to be found. Faloma was 10, while Maleina was 9 years old at the time of their disappearance.<\/p>\n<p>For over a month, the entire Commonwealth witnessed the most massive islandwide aerial, land, and sea searches ever conducted on Saipan for missing persons.<\/p>\n<p>A helicopter from the U.S. Navy and a C-130 plane from the U.S. Air Force joined law enforcers and community volunteers in the search. Hawaii&#8217;s State Civil Defense even sent its tracking dog, Pohaku, to the island.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI also called in an additional 20 special agents and support staff, including members of the Child Abduction Response Deployment Team. Federal and local enforcers scoured for a week a garbage heap at the Marpi landfill to look for clues. Caves, jungles, beaches, manholes, abandoned buildings, and houses were included in the searches.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI, private groups, and individuals, offered cash reward totaling $50,000 for information leading to the discovery of the girls, to no avail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ferdie de la Torre Reporter The Commonwealth was stunned with the mysterious disappearance of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
