A Dutch National, Peter Woudstra, who once shared a romantic relationship with a Guyanese citizen, Bibi Fazeena Sattaur, has reached out to this publication to seek the public’s assistance in reuniting with the woman who “suddenly vanished,” or in the hopes that someone might help him to find closure about what happened to Fazeena. They last saw each other in Venezuela, in the Island of Margarita, before Peter departed for Holland in the year 2006. This is his story.

Dear Reader,

My name is Peter Woudstra, I am from the Netherlands. Fazeena and I were living in Venezuela, Isla de Margarita, since 2004, when I later had to return to the Netherlands around the year 2006. We called often and made plans. Then one day, all of a sudden, there was no answering the phone any more. I kept calling, but got no answer. I asked everybody I knew on Isla de Margarita if they knew something, but nobody had seen her. Apparently, she just disappeared…

By accident, I found a post from GSA News about missing persons in Guyana on my apparently never ending search for my Guyanese girlfriend who has been missing since 2006, and I decided to contact the publication to publish my story here. I have done everything I could think of to find her to no avail. It is a long time ago, but I just can’t leave it like it is not knowing where she is or even if she is alive. Frequently through the years, I have made searches, mainly through the internet, with no results.

I kept calling her phone number for years until it ceased to exist. Yahoo deactivated her Yahoo email account because of lack of use. There is a Gmail account with the same name but I received no response from that either. Now the question may arise: why didn’t I go to Venezuela to find her? It might have been the right thing, but at that time I could not go to Venezuela. Life is full of difficult choices. Nevertheless, I doubt that if I had traveled to Venezuela to search for Fazeena at that time that the search would have been successful because everyone who knew her said she disappeared.

Of course, I have thought about the possibility that maybe she wanted to disappear, but that simply does not make sense. I understand the fact that since all of this took place in Venezuela, and so many years ago, that it might be very difficult, but if there is anything you could advise on how to find her or information about her, maybe relatives of her whom I could contact, or how to pursue more information, I would be most grateful.

Fazeena has family in Guyana. There is a chance she went back to Guyana. Her full name is Bibi Fazeena Sattaur, Date of Birth: 26th of June, 1972.

Knowing the situation in Venezuela, I have feared the worst for many years. Still, I just cannot leave it like it is…not knowing what happened.

Thank you in advance.
Peter Woudstra.

Update

We first published this article for Peter on the 6th of October, 2021. On June 25th, 2022, we touched based with Peter to find out if he got enough feedback to solve his mystery. This is his response.

There were some very warm reactions from people in Guyana. I have not found her but a Danish guy who knew her as well contacted me. We wrote quite some emails and the things he told me was putting quite some pieces of the puzzle in place. All together it is actually quite a story. It should be a book. I am writing at the moment about an adventure I had on the three master Onaygorah.

There is quite a possibility I will pick up in writing on Fazeena’s story as well but I will be needing more information. And of course I am still tremendously curious about what has happened and how she is doing. Your offer of publishing it again is very welcome.

The Danish guy told me Fazeena is illiterate, she does not know how to write or read. The few emails she sent me were written by other persons on her behalf. She is the daughter of a rich rice planter who had many wives, probably illegitimate daughter. She has had a very tough youth.

I always thought she was Hindu from origin but he swears she has Muslim roots. She had been in prison in Isla de Margarita; San Antonio which is famous for its relaxed system. Luckily..

He said she was extremely smart in hiding…. He also said you will never find her…. Now that to me is a challenge. I have to return to Venezuela one day, I have a lot of history there, and will see if I can pick up anything about Fazeena. The problem is times passes. My search for Fazeena is always dwelling in the dark caves of the subconscious and surfaces with sudden memories or happenings.

Thanks for the opportunity to continue the search.

Once Again:
