Family of missing boat captain suspects something “fishy” in his disappearance
The mysterious disappearance of 61-year-old boat captain Carl Subratie of Thomas Point, Mazaruni River is causing his family to grow increasingly suspicious that something “fishy” might have happened to him.
It has been close to two weeks since this boat captain went missing without the detection of even a trace of the boat in which he had left home.
Missing: Carl Subratie
His daughter Sameena Sabratie, when contacted on Tuesday, expressed her concerns and described the situation as “fishy”, while adding that there are many unanswered questions regarding what had really transpired. The woman pointed out that in cases of drowning, a person’s body typically floats to the surface within three days. Additionally, she said, if the boat had been involved in an accident, there would likely be debris or remnants indicating such an event. She related that the lack of any evidence has led her to believe that someone may have kidnapped her father.
“Something doesn’t sound right, because, when a person drowns, their body floats after three days; and if his boat was crashed or something, we would have found pieces from it. I believe somebody took him, because this doesn’t sound right”, she said.
In their efforts to locate Subratie, family members are continuing their search with the assistance of a Police officer. However, these searches have yielded no success so far.
“The Police told us on Monday that they will send three Police officers on Tuesday to join the search,” the worried daughter stated.
The father of two went missing one day before Father’s Day, and has since not been heard from or seen. The family became aware of his disappearance only a few days later, when they attempted to contact him without success. As such, a brother, upon investigation, revealed that the now missing man had dropped off a few passengers in an interior location. Persons confirmed that almost immediately after dropping off the passengers, he left for home. After days had elapsed and he did not return, a Police report was made, and an investigation was launched with the hope of finding the missing man.
Meanwhile, after 11 days without success in locating Subratie, his daughter is appealing to the public to assist the family in finding him. Anyone with useful information is asked to please contact Sameena by telephone at 695-7155.
