ANOTHER missing person has been found dead.
The body of 30-year-old Odelle Lalman-Baptiste from Point Fortin was discovered along Hospital Road in Carlsen Field on Saturday.
She was kidnapped following a violent robbery at around 11 am on Friday.
Lalman-Baptiste and her husband were ambushed and robbed while travelling along Hospital Road in Carlsen Field.
Police reports are that the couple stopped briefly when Mathias exited the vehicle to urinate.

At that time, a black Nissan X-Trail pulled up beside them. Two armed men jumped out from the rear of the vehicle and announced a robbery.
Baptiste was robbed of his white Hyundai H-100 van registration number plate TEH 8727, $1,500 in cash, a Samsung Galaxy A05, and a white iPhone 16.
The suspects then abducted Lalman-Baptiste and fled in a northerly direction with her.
On Saturday morning at 12.07 pm, the Hunters Search and Rescue Team posted on Facebook:
“SLEEP IN PEACE ODELLE: SAD: Imagine our Captain just spoke with her mother. No words. Our Captain, just mobilize our team to head to Carlsen Field to search. The sad news came. On behalf of Hunters Search and Rescue Team, led by Captain Vallence Rambharat, we extend our commiserations to Odelle’s family, friends and love ones. SLEEP IN ETERNAL PEACE SISTER. GOD’S BLESSINGS.”
Lalman-Baptiste death comes after the body of 15-year-old Malini Persad was discovered on Friday in Barrackpore.
The perpetrator in that incident has since committed suicide.
