The mother of the missing Alpha Hotel owner fears that her daughter may have been murdered and said she is disappointed with the lack of communication from the police here.
Roselaine Hall has been missing for over a month now and so far the only trace of her discovered by the police was her vehicle which was found at Parika.
Since then the police have said nothing else about her disappearance.
Hall was last seen in the company of her ex-husband five Wednesdays ago. Later that very day staff reported that the ex-husband had returned to the hotel and advised staff that Hall had gone to Suriname and that she had handed him a power of attorney document giving him control of the hotel.
However many days passed and a missing person report was subsequently made. A wanted bulletin was subsequently issued for the ex-husband, Alex Barker, who has also since disappeared.
Hall’s mother, Joyce McPherson-Hall who lives in the US told Stabroek News that she calls her daughter’s cellular phone just to hear her voice on her answering machine.
The woman said she is disappointed with the pace of investigations into her daughter’s disappearance, saying that she was not hearing anything from the police
Roselaine Hall is also a United States citizen by birth. “She could not have disappeared into thin air,” the woman said.
The woman said it seems as though her daughter was murdered and the police cannot find her body, neither can they find Barker.
“If my daughter has died we just want people to tell us where her body is so we can have a proper funeral, she deserves that,” the woman said. Hall’s disappearance has been very hard for her mother, who is not sure whether coming to Guyana would be the best move at this time.
“It’s hard every day getting by and wondering if we will ever find out what has happened to her. I just can’t give up hope of someone coming forward with information,” she said.
Hall has been living in Guyana since 2004 following the murder of her father Byron Dick, the original owner of all the Alpha Hotel outlets.
Staff members of the hotel as well as her mother have confirmed that she suffered abuse.
According to McPherson-Hall, her daughter was also in the process of completing a divorce from her current husband Romeo Rockerfeller.
Rockerfeller was also held and questioned by police following the woman’s disappearance but has since been released.
He was however placed before the courts on charges relating to the falsifying of travel documents.
He was reportedly out of the country at the time the woman went missing and it was he who contacted the woman’s mother in the US to advise them of the situation.
McPherson-Hall said prior to that telephone call she had never even heard the voice of her son-in-law.
The woman has also questioned the whereabouts of her daughter’s belongings which were all located at the hotel where Hall also lived.
