Over 2 years later: Cop still ‘missing’ after leaving home
It has now almost been two and a half years since Police Constable Quincy Lewis went missing after leaving his La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara home for work, and his disappearance still remains a mystery.
Lewis’s relatives in a recent interview told Guyana Times that there have been no developments in the case, and they are hoping to get an update on the investigation soon.
On June 19, 2020, Lewis visited his home to uplift a few pieces of clothes since he was supposed to be inline. After collecting the items, he boarded a motor car and left, and was not heard from since then.
The man’s brother, Revon Jordon, had told this publication that he became aware that his brother was missing when the owner of the car he left in, came looking for him four days later.
Lewis’s family at the time said they were under the impression that he was inline since they did not hear from him. They revealed that it was usual not hearing from him when he was inline.
However, when they contacted his place of work, they were told that he did not turn up for work. Several efforts were made to contact Lewis’s phone but they were all futile.
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance recordings revealed that Lewis crossed the Demerara Harbour Bridge, which is less than a 10-minute drive from where he was stationed. He was last seen entering Greenfield Park, East Bank Demerara.
A few months after he disappeared, Lewis’s cell phone was found in the Timehri, East Bank Demerara area with the screen cracked.
Last year, Police said they are hunting two men in relation to the cop’s disappearance. Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said while Police are still investigating the officer’s disappearance, it appears as though the suspects involved in the case might have fled the jurisdiction.
The family is pleading with those who have information with respect to the whereabouts of the cop, to come forward so that he can be reunited with his family. (G9)
