Partner of Missing Fisherman Urges for Increased Search Efforts

The partner of one of three fishermen missing at sea for over four weeks believes that the police stopped their search too soon

“Search everywhere. Don’t leave anything unturned”, Odessa Smith said in an interview with State Media

Odessa is the partner of Shalico Charles, who went on a fishing expedition on December 01 with two other fishermen, Captain Vere Isaac and crew member Cleon Joseph. They set out aboard the 23-foot boat Give Thanks but have not returned.

During her interview with State Media, she said each passing moment feels like an eternity for her and her children, who are grappling not just with their absence but with a profound sense of loss and longing.

She calls for renewed efforts to find the missing men, all while praying that hope will prevail in the face of overwhelming odds.
