Prescott’s dad questioned

POLICE again questioned the father of six-year-old Marc Prescott yesterday for further details about the single conversation he had with his son’s kidnappers, who had demanded a $150,000 ransom, hours after the youngster was snatched on May 14.

According to reports, around 10 am  a party of San Fernando CID officers led by ASP Dyo Mohammed, went to Prescott’s home at Edinburg Crescent, Scotland Drive, Cocoyea, where they asked his father Wayne, 38,  to accompany them to the station. On arrival there, Prescott was asked to give details about conversations he may have had with other persons regarding his son’s abduction. Sources said the police would be questioning other relatives, as part of their investigations. Officers said they are “working feverishly,” to find Marc, who has been kept in captivity for almost a month now.

Police sources told Newsday that earlier this week a photograph of Marc was shown to employees at the Piarco International Airport and the Immigration Departments but no one recalled ever seeing the child at the airport. Investigators believe that there is a strong possibility that the boy was whisked out of the country, even though he does not have a passport, since the airport is not the only entry point to the country. Investigations are continuing.
