Two Belizean Taxi Drivers Missing in Belmopan

Earlier this week, family and friends reported two Belizean taxi drivers, Marvin Cante and Juan Carlo Raymundo, missing in Belmopan. Both men were reportedly last seen on Wednesday morning, November 27.

Juan Carlo Raymundo, 32, is described as having a light complexion and Mestizo descent. He was wearing a dark-coloured T-shirt and long trousers when he disappeared. His cousin, 37-year-old Marvin Cante, also of Mestizo descent with a light brown complexion, was wearing a red polo shirt, a black baseball cap, and black trousers.

Marvin’s brother, Elmer Cante, shared on Thursday via a Facebook post: “My friends, please, if you have seen my brother Marvin Cante and my cousin John Raymundo, please let me know. They have been missing since yesterday. We have called them, and they do not answer, and they always answer my calls. Please contact me at 6340114.”

Elmer also said in a separate post on Friday night that the family will be carrying out a search party today and invited anyone who would like to assist in the search to join them. This followed an earlier search on Thursday, after Elmer found a vehicle he had rented to Marvin and Raymundo. The vehicle, which had bloodstains inside, was reportedly discovered with its engine still running on the road leading to the sanitary landfill at mile 25 on the Phillip Goldson Highway. Elmer and other family members went to the scene and searched the surrounding area but found no trace of Marvin or Raymundo.

As the days go by without any sign of the men, the family grows increasingly concerned. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and help in the search.
