The alarm was raised after the Gnostic Church Stella Maris cult, from Cartagena Colombia, did not return on Monday from a spiritual retreat. Colombian police are searching the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, in the north of the country. Mariela Tovar, whose 23-year-old daughter Patricia is among the disappeared, said the heads of the sect, Rogelio Perea and Rodolfo Pirez, had assured followers that they could contact a spaceship in the mountains. The area is sacred territory to indigenous Indians who refer to themselves as the big brothers and maintain the Sierra Nevada is the original centre of the earth. The sect believes that extra-terrestrials will take 140,000 people from the earth before the end of the world. Police began a search on Tuesday morning and have not yet discovered any sign of the cult members. They checked the sect's half-finished temple in Cartagena, but found no clue as to where they had gone, or what their intentions were. Authorities did manage to get information about the sect from relatives such as Enrique Dmaz Impidis. Mr Impidis said he had to forcibly restrain his wife from selling all her belongings to go on the trip. He believes the sect members have been kidnapped by their leaders, after they had urged a sale of worldly effects to finance the trip. His friend Pedro Perez was not so fortunate, however, and his wife and two daughters joined the cult on their search for salvation. Another neighbour said the group had seemed happy and peaceful when they left, trying to persuade him to come along to save himself. Pedro Barrios, a local businessman whose brother and family have gone missing, said he had warned the police about the group's intentions. "We warned the authorities of what they were planning to do, but they told us they could not interfere and that the constitution guaranteed the freedom of cults," he said. The Colombian authorities say they are not discounting any theories about the disappearance, including that of mass suicide or kidnapping.
