Search continues for missing land surveyor

Germaine La Rose

Even as the search continues for Germaine La Rose, the land surveyor that went missing in a boat mishap at Imbamadai Landing last Thursday, some family members believed he may have been a victim of foul play.

La Rose, 34, of Canvas City, Wismar, Linden, and his colleague Terrence Thomas went missing after the boat mishap. Thomas’ body was recovered earlier this week and a post mortem examination was carried out.

According to a Face-book post by Geoffrey, La Rose’s brother, Germaine was granted permission to use the ill-fated Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) boat on many occasions. “It is understood that this is not the first time my brother used a boat of GGMC to conduct work in the same area, and is usually given the permission of a Mines Officer to use the boat which is captained by the same person. The Guyana Geology and Mines Com-mission (GGMC), to which the boat belongs, has not shown interest in locating their boat nor engine.”
