Essequibo brothers missing after travelling to interior

− Linden man disappears without trace

Twenty-three-year-old Javon John and 39-year-old Macklyn John went missing in May after they never returned to their mining camp in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
The two brothers of Onderneeming Housing Scheme, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), had indicted to relatives that they were heading out of the interior to spend time with their mother on Mother’s Day but they were not heard from since.
Their mother, Claire John, believes something is amiss and has been looking for answers for the past three months.
“My son told me that he and his brother will come out to visit me on Mother’s Day since they don’t get time to spend with me… Up to now, I ain’t see them,” the mother told Guyana Times.
She explained that when she spoke with them, they were heading back to their mining camp and they told her that due to the signal being weak, they would not be able to speak with her frequently but promised to see her on Mother’s Day.
However, the family is pleading with anyone with information about the whereabouts of the two men to contact them.
“I am fearful that something wrong has happened to them…We are calling for the relevant authorities to look into the matter… do a search or something… we just want to find them,” the mother cried.
The family can be contacted on telephone numbers 682 6599 or 632 9257.
Meanwhile, the family members of 47-year-old Justin Toby Bayley, also known as “Coor” or “Jussie” formerly of Linden, Region 10, are seeking the public’s assistance to locate him.
According to the man’s sister, the missing man moved from Linden to Georgetown back in 2019 but was not forthcoming about certain details.
She noted that he was last contacted in February of this year via cell phone, however, since March, calls to his cell phone went unanswered.
The woman said it is uncommon for her brother to not make contact with family members or friends. She noted, however, that a missing person’s report has not been filed.
The family is asking anyone with information on Bayley’s whereabouts to contact them on telephone number 660-8713.
