A father's cry for his missing son

GIVE me back my son. This was the cry of Curtis Henry, 57, a father of three who said his son has been missing for the past 66 days.

Jason Henry, 24, who lived with his father at Dibe Road, Long Circular, St James, was last seen on July 5.

Henry reported his son missing to St James police on July 7.

Speaking with Newsday yesterday while fighting to hold back tears, Henry called on anyone who may have his son to set him free.

Henry claimed everyone in the community knows what happened to his son and have refused to come forward with information to help the police find him.

“Life has not been the same since Jason went missing. Please anyone help me find my son, I beg of you. On that Saturday morning, after my usual routine, I sat by the table to have my second cup of coffee and I saw when Jason passed through the house to head to the toilet. I remember talking to him for a short while.”

Henry said Jason was last seen wearing a three-quarter khaki pants, a white t-shirt and a red slipper with his hair pulled back in a ponytail. Jason is about 171 centimetres, has light brown eyes and is slim built.

“On the Saturday night when he did not come home, my daughter and I went out the road looking around the community to see if anyone saw him. He always comes home at a certain hour. The next day, we made several calls to his phone and all the calls went unanswered.”

Henry said since his son went missing, he has been visiting the police station every day to get updates and, to date, the police have no information about his son’s whereabouts.
Anyone with information is being asked to call 394-6251, 473-2629 or the St James station.
