Today marks one month since the sudden disappearance of Police Con-stable Quincy Lewis, whose family is still hopeful of his safe return.
“I just hoping and praying. That is the best way right now and trust god that everything is okay,” his mother, Charlene Jordan, yesterday told Sunday Stabroek.
The 26-year-old police officer was last seen by his mother on June 19 as he was leaving to work the night shift at the Agricola Police Outpost.
Jordan had previously explained that she did not realise that anything was amiss until a few days later when she tried calling Lewis but got no answer.
“I noticed on [the 23rd of June] that he was missing… his friends come and ask for he and they calling he phone and it going to voicemail… when I call [his phone] he wasn’t picking up…then I know he didn’t go to work at all,” she said.
Earlier this month, the woman had noted that the police related to her that Lewis was seen on CCTV footage crossing the Demerara Harbour Bridge after leaving their La Parfaite Harmonie home.
A police source yesterday told Sunday Stabroek that while there has been no trace of Lewis, the investigation remains active.
The investigation into Lewis’s disappearance is being led by the Guyana Police Force’s Missing Persons Unit. Two policing divisions, Region 3 and Region 4(A), are assisting with the probe.
Jordan had previously related to this newspaper that she was only aware of two issues that Lewis had. One arose a year ago when he rented a car for two days and it was damaged in an accident.
She said that she was not certain whether Lewis had indeed sorted out the problem with the owner of the car.
Just about a month ago, Jordan added, Lewis also related to her that one of his colleagues was holding a “grudge” against him. “He and someone ah them I think I had some misunderstanding. The persons, they holding grudge but he is not a person like duh so he say he don’t tek them on,” she said.
