What Happened to 12-year-old Kemba Marshall?

Published

How is it possible that a 12-year-old boy hasn’t returned home from school, and there’s no search party actively looking for him?

How is it that his photo isn’t all over the media? How can a child go missing and his parents aren’t out there desperately searching for him day and night?

These are the haunting questions surrounding Kemba Marshall, who has been missing since February 15, 2024. Kemba, a student at Five Islands Primary School, was living with his father, Mr. Ashiell Marshall, in Bolans at the time of his disappearance.

Shockingly, it seems as though Kemba’s absence wasn’t given the attention it should have by his parents

According to Kemba’s mother, Ms. Natasha Nedd, Mr. Marshall called her on March 1 to inform her that Kemba had not returned home for the past two weeks.

The chilling realization that Kemba had vanished without a trace sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community.

As the months pass, anxiety and concern continue to mount, with fears growing that Kemba may have fallen victim to foul play.

The police have confirmed that the mother reported her son as missing. However, she provided conflicting reports.

The question left on everyone’s mind is, what really happened

    Both parents should be locked up. If it was my child, his picture would have be on social media by the evening I don’t see him. I see my child as part of my womb. Antigua is too small for people keep missing like that. They need to trace his routine of getting to school and getting back home. Question his schoolmates and teachers, people in the Five Island and Bolands communities, and question the bus drivers for both communities. Somebody has to see and know something. Are the authorities saying that we have monsters here in Antigua from planet mars taking up our residents in space??
