Speaking with this newspaper yesterday, a disappointed Medor said he looked everywhere he felt the woman could have been, but all of his searches have come up empty. Now as he leaves Guyana, he hopes that one day he will receive a call from his attorney that she has been found.

The St Lucian national, who currently resides in the United Kingdom had approached this newspaper late last week after he was unable to locate his mother where he last saw her and was also unsuccessful in contacting the persons who he entrusted with her care and had frequently sent money to, to sustain her.

Medor said the police have since made contact with the wife of the man who took responsibility for his mother, but she has denied any knowledge of the man or the elderly woman.

Sylvester Medor, said he had not seen his mother very often and initially for more than 40 years, but assisted her financially through her caretakers.

He said he had last heard from the caretakers in May this year.

He then came to Guyana last month to visit his mother but has not been able to find her. Prospere-Medor had been staying at a house on Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown.

Her son told Stabroek News he had been sending substantial sums to his mother’s caretakers who kept demanding more for their own expenses.

When he came to Guyana on September 10, after he decided he would place the woman in a home and forward payments to it every month, his mother was nowhere to be found.

“I am worried because she is 85 and I don’t know where she is and I am leaving the country shortly, but I don’t want to leave without knowing where she is,” the man had said.

“I would really like to find my mother and I am hoping that one day my attorney calls with good news. There is not much I can do right now but to just wait and see what happens,” the man said yesterday.
