Police Launch Major Search for Orden David
Police have launched yet another major search for missing Bolans resident and LGBTQ+ Activist Orden ‘Passo’ David who haven’t been seen since January 25, 2025.
Police have fanned out across the Pares area, the same area where his burnt-out Honda Fit was found last Saturday.
David, who resides in Bolans, was last seen wearing a red vest and grey shorts, driving a black Honda Fit with the registration number A60870.
Witnesses indicate that he was last seen entering his black Honda Fit at Percival’s Gas Station on the night he disappeared, but it remains unclear which direction he took afterward.
A missing person report was filed at the Bolans Police Station on Sunday, leading to several search efforts that, unfortunately, have not yielded any results.
David is a counselor at the AIDS Secretariat and is well-known for his advocacy for LGBTQ rights.
He played a crucial role in the landmark 2022 court decision that deemed Antigua and Barbuda’s 1995 Sexual Offences Act unconstitutional, marking a significant win for the LGBTQ community.
Anyone with information that could help in finding David is encouraged to reach out to the Bolans Police Station at 462-1080 or the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913.

However, for what it’s worth, keep on trying. At the end of this exercise, the families of all who have suffered similar fates should be brought together for a genuine national service of commital and intercession for the souls of ALL who, sadly, met this horrendous fate. The Village continues to mourn.
