'We were supposed to leave together, but she opted for overtime' - Monday May 26, 2014
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11261669
Her friend Behula Shah, described her as "a very cheerful person, a very happy person".

They had worked at Tower Insurance for almost two years, forming a bond as they sat next to each other.

On Saturday morning, Mrs Shah picked Mrs Gotingco up from her home and they travelled to work together.

She last saw her when she left at 5pm. "We were supposed to leave together but she opted for overtime."

Mrs Shah said her friend had previously expressed concerns about her safety when walking home from the bus.

"She gets off from the bus on the main road, Birkdale, and then it is about a 5, 6, 7-minute walk ... She said there's not enough light there, especially when it's winter and a bit dark." Mrs Gotingco had also spoken of her concerns to her own daughter Bea, Mrs Shah said.

"When I spoke to her daughter she said she had spoken to her also about that that she feels a little bit unsafe. That road is dark. I think there's not enough lighting."

Police say possibilities of what happened to Blessie Gotingco are "limitless".

At a press conference this afternoon Detective Senior Sergeant Stan Brown said the 56-year-old's disappearance was a complete mystery.

There was nothing at the scene where her belongings were found yesterday to indicate a struggle.

He said police were looking for two items Mrs Gotingco would have had with her - a distinctive Omega watch and her reading glasses.

He would not disclose what property had already been found.

Investigators are also reviewing and continuing to gather CCTV footage from not only the Auckland City area, but also from the Birkdale and Verrans Corners areas.

Blessie’s family are being supported by friends and Victim Support, and are understandably distraught. Blessie’s husband is on his way home from overseas and will arrive back in the country tomorrow.

"Leaving with some urgency" does not sound good. Maybe someone followed her home from work. It might be someone she knows.

Hopefully she was rushing to catch the bus and nothing more. Although they are saying she would have caught the 7.20pm or 7.40pm bus perhaps she thought she could get an earlier one.

Yes, I thought that she may have been rushing to catch the bus too Sleep. They discussed that on 'Campbell Live' 3 News tonight. They traced Blesilda's likely route home in the below video as well.

Police searching for Birkdale mother Blessie Gotingco have tonight cordoned off a cemetery close to her home.

Two distinctive personal items owned by the 56-year-old may hold clues to her disappearance - as her family struggle to cope and a community rallies to help.

As the search for mother-of-three enters its third day tomorrow, her daughter says the family are struggling.

Detective Senior Sergeant Stan Brown revealed police were looking for Mrs Gotingco's "very distinctive" Omega watch and her red-frame reading glasses which they believe she had on when she went missing.
