The family of the reigning Miss Honduras, Maria Jose Alvarado has pleaded with police to find their teenage daughter, who was abducted few days before her Miss World competition in London.
According to AFP, Miss Honduras, Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and sister Sofia Trinidad have not been heard from since they vanished on Thursday night outside the northern city of Santa Barbara, after attending a friend’s birthday party.

"Days have gone by and we have not heard a thing. The police have to know something," said a tearful Teresa Munoz, their mother.
Alvarado had been set to travel to London on Wednesday for the Miss World competition.
The sisters disappeared after attending a birthday party for Sofia's boyfriend.
"The authorities just have to do their job better," their big sister Cori Alvarado told local media.
National police are working on several leads in the hunt for Alvarado, who is also part of a modeling reality show on Honduran television.
Honduras, an impoverished Central American country with eight million people, is statistically the most violent nation in the world.
The Miss World contest is slated to start on Thursday and culminate in the crowning of a new winner on Dec. 14.
