‘The worst part is not knowing’

…family of missing man not giving up hope

Family members of 44-year-old Anthony Harilall, also known as “Bo”, who has been missing for the past eight years, are not giving up hope of finding him alive. He has last been seen in 2013, walking with a friend along a street in Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
A member of his family related on Friday that they have not received any new leads, even after publishing that he is still missing more than three months ago. That member has said they are now fearing the worst, as concerns for his welfare grow with each passing day. Family members are now hoping that someone who has seen him would inform him that members of his family are looking for him.
His sister Radica Harilall has described her brother as a loving person who deserves to be reunited with his family, especially his daughter, who is longing to see him again.
Anthony Harilall was deported from the United States in 2002, and, until his disappearance, had been residing at Sisters Village, (WBD) with an uncle. However, the uncle passed away, and he was left at the house alone. Family members later lost contact with him.
In a previous interview with Guyana Times, Anthony Harilall’s sister Radica explained that several persons are looking for him, but none has been able to locate him. She said his family which resides in the USA would like to have some closure on the matter. She said the family had initially thought he had gone into the interior to work, but as the years passed, they became worried when he neither returned home nor made contact with them. She said that relatives who have tried to file a missing person’s report from the US have been advised to return to Guyana to make an official report.
On Friday, the woman said: “We’ve checked all the hospitals, jails, posted him (his picture) all over the media; the next step is to move to the Home Affairs Ministry. We will not give up. I will never give up on finding my brother. I believe God will show us where he is.
“The worst part is not knowing where he is for so long. We are just scared he’s hurt. His daughter wants a relationship with him. I would want to say to him, ‘Please come forward, Bo’. We love you so much, and want to help you, wherever you are”, she pleaded.
