POLICE CONTINUE SEARCH FOR ORDEN DAVID

Published
Orden “Passo” David

On Tuesday, February 18, police officers from various departments launched an extensive search operation on the eastern side of the island in an effort to find Orden David.

The team of over 50 dedicated officers gathered at Willikies Police Station around 5:30 a.m. for a strategic briefing before commencing search at 7:15 a.m. The search covered several key areas, including Pares and around Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. During the operation, four vehicles suspected of being stolen were found partially stripped of their parts. 

They were examined by the Forensic Evidence Recovery Unit (FERU), and arranged to be transported to Police Headquarters for further investigation. The operation lasted over four hours; however, there were still no sightings of Orden David.

The search will continue, and the public is asked to assist by providing any information regarding Orden David’s whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. You may do so by contacting the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or Bolans Police Station at 462-1080.

On Saturday, the police made a significant breakthrough in the case after obtaining valuable information that led to the discovery of his burnt-out Honda Fit motorcar, hidden among bushes behind Pares Secondary School.

This crucial piece of evidence has since been taken to the headquarters for further investigation.

    One leads to another. I guess and Activist case will open up other cases. hmmmm. maybe the police should have search parties more often.

    Please to hear that other things are coming to light. And I feel as if Antigua Surf needs to stop being like this, all this negativity is not necessary. At the same time. I pray they find Orden. What have they done to this young man? Somebody speak up, atleast say where he is! Give the family the closure they deserve.

    These types of searching should have been going on regularly, especially with vehicles being stolen regularly in this country.. another vehicle was stolen last night..a taxi van

    I hope the family of this man finds closure. With his vehicle burnt then obviously something bad happened to him. A man who is alive needs a vehicle to drive. One who is dead doesn’t. We believe Passo has died even if we don’t want to say so. RIP friend. I love you always

    I’m just curious ! Was the ground around where the vehicle was found burnt? If not, that vehicle was taken there and NOBODY saw anything! Did any of the residents of the area observe smoke or even smelled smoke? SOMEBODY believes it’s not their concern!
    Have some sympathy for the family and loved ones!
    Have mercy!! Have a heart!!!
