Missing man mistaken for dead man

Williams has been missing for two weeks, and when a man’s body was found in Freeport relatives feared it was the 28-year-old man. They were told to go to the Forensic Science Centre, St James, on Friday last, where they were relieved the body was not Williams, but a 36-year-old man from Laventille.

Williams’ family however are still worried about what happened to him. His sister, who did not want her name published, believes he can be found safe and sound.

“I still have faith that we could find him, and I believe in God,” she said. “I know that he would not just drop off the map just so.” Williams was last seen on September 16. He had left the car wash business, on Lady Young Road, Morvant, which he and his sister runs, and returned for a short time, using the car of his landlord and friend, Barrington “Skippy” Thomas, which was a white Toyota Axio. He then left again to collect money at another business place but never arrived there. Calls to his cell phone went unanswered. Worried relatives went to the Morvant Police Station, the following Monday to make a report, only to find out Thomas had also made a report about his disappearance.

Police officers found Thomas’ car, which Williams was using, in Carlsen Field after receiving a report from farmers who made the discovery and said the engine was on idle, and the radio was on.

Williams’ sister said he complained of not feeling safe where he lived at Crystal Drive, Morvant, and was looking for another place to stay, and told Thomas who offered to allow him to stay at his house.
