There has still been no trace of 79-year-old Joyce Davis, the United States (US) citizen who was reported missing almost three months ago from her Almanac Creek, Essequibo River house.
A source close to the investigation informed Stabroek News that while Davis is feared dead, there has been no trace of her body to date, despite numerous searches.
Davis, who took up residence in Region Seven, was reported missing in early March by residents of the area.
She had been living alone for several years following the death of her husband, who was also a US citizen.
The couple moved to Guyana almost two decades ago.
The Region Seven Regional Democratic Council, in a Facebook, had said that prior to her disappearance Davis had contacted a boat captain and related to him that she had some work to be done at her home.
She requested that he bring along two workers. However, upon arrival, the men noticed the house was abandoned, the post had added. The police were subsequently alerted.
Davis, this newspaper learnt, sailed the world for 16 years before settling down at Almanac Creek, Essequibo with her husband in 2006.
