Speaking with Guyana Times on Saturday, the pensioner’s daughter, Tracy Campbell, revealed that she went to a shop to make some purchases on Friday, November 13, and left her father at home along with her brother. The worried daughter related that her bother said that their father asked him for a cigarette but he indicated that he had none and as such his father left and went outside.
“When my mother came back, she said she put on my father tea in the kitchen, and she went into the bedroom but she said she didn’t [see] him there…the guy next door said they saw him coming down the front step heading to the back of the yard,” she said.
Several searches were made around the area for the pensioner, but he was not found and as such the family lodged a missing person’s report with the police. His daughter said that he was last seen in a multicoloured jersey and a long pants.
“It is very worrying… he would leave home sometimes and come back, but this situation is different because he is not well, he has grown, he is not in his full senses. It is not like we would say he probably gone somewhere and he will come back. We don’t know…”, the man’s daughter related.
The woman is pleading with anyone who might have any knowledge of her father’s whereabouts to contact his family on 697-1491, 625-3002 or the nearest police station. (G9)
