His mother, Sherryann Hardy, yesterday told Stabroek News that she last saw her son when she left home for work in August. Prior to his disappearance, she said, they had a disagreement and he had been staying between her home and the home of his grandmother, who also resides in Good Intent.

Hardy said after she learned of her son’s disappearance, she made several enquiries and was once told by a resident that he left and had said he was going to work at a farm behind the Wales Estate.

She said in the almost three months since he disappeared, she has made several efforts to contact the owner of the farm but they proved futile. However, on Sunday, she said, she visited the farm and she saw a few of her son’s belongings but was provided with no valuable information on his whereabouts. A missing person’s report was made to the Wales Police Station, which is now investigating the matter. “I just want to see my child,” she said.

The worried mother is pleading with anyone that may have information about her son’s whereabouts to contact her on telephone numbers 267-1438, 692-1724, 662-9781, or the nearest police station.
