# Angie Peña disappearance and Delta Teams investigation > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/angie-pea-disappearance-and-delta-teams-investigation > Updated: 2026-09-06T20:00:03.000Z. Sources: 11. Developments: 2. The disappearance of Angie Peña in Roatán, Bay Islands, has evolved from a missing person case into a criminal investigation involving a suspected human trafficking network known as ‘Delta Teams.’ Following the disappearance in January 2022, Peña’s mother, Michelle Melgares, has publicly urged Honduran authorities to prioritize a physical rescue, expressing doubt regarding the effectiveness of current operations. She stated, ‘Everyone in Roatán knows each other, why don't they rescue her? Hand her over!’ A judicial trial has commenced in Honduras against four members of the ‘Delta Teams’ organization. The defendants include U.S. citizens Harold Joseph Green Jr. and William James Murdock, who face human trafficking charges, as well as Gary Lee Johnston and Honduran national Ramón Gustavo Trejo Nájera, who are charged with criminal association. Prosecutors allege the group engaged in human trafficking, organized crime, and potentially the trafficking of drugs and weapons in the Bay Islands between 2019 and 2022. The proceedings are being held under secrecy by the First Chamber of the Sentencing Tribunal for Organized Crime, Environment, and Corruption to protect ongoing investigations. While the case is linked to the disappearance of Angie Samantha Peña, authorities noted that this specific trial focuses on the criminal responsibility of the accused rather than determining her current whereabouts. Additionally, former Security Vice Minister Semma Julissa Villanueva has denied allegations of misconduct, claiming that ‘defamation campaigns’ are being used to undermine the investigation. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-06: Delta Teams criminal group faces trial in Honduras A trial has begun in Honduras against four members of the ‘Delta Teams’ criminal group for alleged human trafficking and organized crime in Islas de la Bahía. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/honduras-begins-trial-against-delta-teams-in-angie-pea-case ### 2026-08-23: Angie Peña's mother demands rescue of daughter missing in Roatán The mother of Angie Peña, missing since January 2022 in Roatán, Honduras, is demanding authorities rescue her daughter, whom she believes is being held in captivity by a trafficking network. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/angie-peas-mother-demands-rescue-of-daughter-missing-in-roatn --- Cite as: Angie Peña disappearance and Delta Teams investigation.
