Missing Bride-to-Be Found Alive After 19 Days

Quezon City police confirmed on Monday that Sherra de Juan, a bride-to-be missing for 19 days, has been located alive in Sison town, Pangasinan province. The discovery came after a civilian tip led authorities and her family to retrieve her, with the group expected to return to Manila by late afternoon.

De Juan vanished on December 10 around 1:30 p.m. near the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Atherton Street in North Fairview, Quezon City. She had left home to buy shoes for her wedding to fiancé Mark Arjay Reyes, scheduled for December 14. Dressed in black pants, a black jacket, and a black shirt, she carried only a tumbler and a coin purse, leaving her phone behind. When she did not return, her family reported her missing that evening, prompting an immediate police response.

Reyes, unable to contact her, appealed publicly online for assistance, offering a 150,000-peso reward for information leading to her location. Quezon City Police District officials formed a special investigation team on December 15 and designated Reyes a person of interest, meaning he possessed potentially vital details but was not considered a suspect.
