According to reports, it was related by her family that Dookeran was dropped off at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri by her nephew to head back to Canada after conducting a week of business in Guyana.
It was on March 15th, Dookeran was expected to return home after staying at Perth Village on the Essequibo Coast. However, she didn’t board the flight and telephone calls yielded no answers.
