Point Fortin woman missing for 40 days

A Point Fortin family is pleading with whoever has Arvizor Miller, 43, or knows where she is, to return her to them – dead or alive. Miller lives at Sunset Beach, Fanny Village.

Making the plea on Monday, Grace Miller, Arvizor’s aunt, said the last time she saw her niece on July 15, she was in distress.

She said said Miller, the mother of six children between the ages of 11 and 23, had been missing for 40 days. She said Miller also left without a phone, so her family had no way of contacting her.

Searches have yielded no success.

Grace recalled her last encounter with Miller at her Sunset Beach home. She said Miller was acting strangely before she disappeared without a trace.

“She was not her usual self. She looked scared. She kept telling me she did something wrong and she kept telling me she want to go hide.

"I asked her, 'What you did?' and she said told me she don’t know.

“Somebody know something that went on. She is not a girl who accustomed to knocking all over the place.

“I have known her since she was six years old, so I know her. She is not a person to leave her children for that long. The whole community know her.

"She has children, so she may go for a day or two and come back, but she is not accustomed to staying away that long from her children."

Grace said she was very worried about her niece.

“I feel in my belly that something bad has happened to her. I feel like she is dead. But whether she is dead or alive, we want her back.”

She said her niece lost her husband some seven years ago.

“I suspect something is wrong. Forty days she has gone missing now and I believe she has been killed. I am getting that bubbling in my stomach."

Community activist Daniel George, a neighbour, with help from a concerned community group, hasplastered missing-person posters bearing Miller's face around the neighborhood. They have also held meetings, in person and online, on Sunset Beach, Fanny Village, Point Fortin to mobilise support.

Her disappearance has been reported to the Point Fortin police and enquiries are continuing.
