COLOMBIA Hopes of Finding the Priest Believed to Be Dead Alive Monteria (Agenzia Fides) - There are still hopes of finding don Néstor Darío Buendía Martinez alive, the priest missing in Colombia and whose death was announced, after a body was found, that was believed to be his. According to information reported by the Diocese of Monterai, the death of Don Buendía received a resounding denial since, after forensic investigations, it is understood that the body found – although similar - was not that of the priest. The Bishop of Monteria, Mgr. Ramon Alberto Rolón has officially denied the news of the recovery of the body, explaining that the first information about the recovery of the body had been spread from unofficial sources. The Bishop appealed to the entire population to help the police in the investigations to find don Nestor. The priest disappeared last Thursday, and there has been no news since then. The faithful of the parish of St. Anthony of Padua, where Don Buendía was assistant pastor, are concerned and pray for the priest’s life. The chief police of Cordoba told the local press that investigations continue to find the priest, but so far there have been no effective results. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 27/06/2013)
