A Kenyan woman and her daughter were found dead in a truck seven days after they were reported missing in Tahko, Finland US.
The mother-daughter duo was running a food truck business in a foreign land.
Catherine Beatrice Heiskanen and her daughter Patience Coppins sold Kenyan delicacies under a truck and operated under the name Africana Sambusa.
The family was last seen on a Saturday. After they failed to come back home, their family realized something wasn’t right and started looking for them.
“The deceased was last seen at 4 pm on Saturday morning selling food in their truck. Apparently, after closing the business, it is suspected that they decided to take a nap in the truck based on the position they were found in, sleeping side by side,” detailed a family member.
After their efforts proved futile, they filed a missing person report at the local police station seeking help to locate their kin.
Police who found the bodies say they appeared to be sleeping, and it was suspected that they inhaled the gas from the stoves they used for cooking.
Catherine has left 4 Children, A teenage boy, and 3 young kids.
