Have You Seen This Girl? She Has Been Missing Since the Grisly Garissa Massacre

Isaac Mutisya has not been at peace for close to four months, this is because his daughter Risper disappeared without a trace during the university in Garissa.

4 months on after the appalling attack that claimed the lives 148 people , his daughter’s body has not been found and he is looking for all means possible to find his missing child.

Mr Mutisya says that his nightmare began when he went to Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi where victims of the atrocious attack has been admitted, but he did not find his beloved daughter.

When he didn’t find her there, he was forced to stopover at Chiromo Mortuary to look for Risper, something he describes as traumatizing since he had to sift through 119 bodies. After a week there, the search yielded no results.

The next step he had to take was reporting the issue police station in Garissa and that too yielded no results.

But he has not given up the search for his daughter as he says that “When I sleep, I see her coming towards me, sometimes she extends her hands towards me, but when I reach out she disappears – these dreams haunt me a lot.” adding that “This will continue until I know the whereabouts of my daughter.

The government has unfortunately not been of much help according to Mutisya who said that “Very little is being done to help me get her back – dead or alive.”

Here is his missing daughter:
