This publication understands that Chinelle and her landlady, Ms. Lea Cueavas, had an argument on Friday night concerning the lights in the apartment but one of the tenants intervened as a peacemaker.
However, on Saturday Chinelle and her landlord then had a fight and according to the husband the landlord confirmed this saying that she struck Chinelle with her hands.
Mr. Browne said that he then contacted the family in New York and told them to check her workplace as Chinelle was supposed to be at work at 1pm on Monday.
“Monday I spoke to the landlord and asked her about my wife. The landlord then told me that she got a message for my wife on Sunday, but how could she message my wife on Sunday when I was not getting on to my wife and when someone told me they found her phone,” Mr. Browne said.
“The family and I would continue to pray for her safe return, we pray that nothing serious happened to her, I know that the landlord is responsible for this,” Mr. Browne said.
Another family member who wants to remain anonymous said that based on the information she heard, she believes that Chinelle had been kidnapped because if she had lost her phone she would have found some means of contacting the family as she usually does.
Chinelle is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and of medium build. She has a tattoo on her right leg with the word ‘ANGEL’ and one on her right arm with her name “CHINELLE”.
