“The task group is currently focusing on gathering information to locate missing person Reynalyn Umali, habang inaantay natin ang result ng forensic unit kung talaga ang nakitang bangkay sa Infanta Quezon ay ang hinahanap natin,” said Ison.
“Patuloy ang ugnayan at pagtutulungan ng iba’t-ibang unit ng PNP upang mahanap, at mahuli ang gumawa ng karumaldumal na krimen na ito. Hihingin din po naming ang kooperasyon ng kanyang pamilya. Kami din ay nanawagan sa sino pang makapagbibigay ng impormasyon upang agad po natin ma solve ang kasong eto at mabigyan ng hustisya ang biktima,” added Ison.
