Candy Jageshar, the mother of missing young man Thomas Vasquez, says she has received credible information suggesting her son was taken at sea from Antigua and Barbuda, killed execution style, and dumped into the ocean.

Although she acknowledges that there is no direct evidence to support these claims, she feels compelled to share what she has learned.

In an emotional conversation with Antigua.news, Candy says she believes the information is very credible.

    Justice for this woman and all the rest of the families who continue to suffer at the hands of not knowing

    I hope the woman find the closure she needs. This is a very sad situation.

    I’ve been an Antiguan living in new jersey for years and I have been following this channel to keep me abreast with developments in my homeland. This is a sad matter. From the very first time I listened to that lady story I realize her son may have been killed. Listen a mother know. She knows her son is dead. She knows he isn’t coming back. I am sorry this has happened to this lady’s child. It could be your son or daughter. Let us not judge her.

  • Apex Jones June 28, 2025, 3:39 PM

    did SHE SHARE THAT credible information with the police? How the person know that though.

  • SoonerOrLater June 28, 2025, 9:03 AM

    We need someone to tell us who killed Passo too. Look how long the police have forensic to reveal from the guy they found dead. We know is passo already. No sense you try to hide. Release the information. They stabbed him and killed him.

    Condolences to you from an Antiguan who lives abroad. I feel your pain. I’ll be praying for you. I do hope you get some closure. It’s really tough and heartbreaking. I’m in tears. I know it’s hard to loose someone never mind a child. Blessings to follow you and the rest of the family. V Carr

    The community deserves answers.

    Wow. Sad thing

  • Tabbi June 27, 2025, 9:29 PM

    The police in Antigua sit in the police stations or thier various offices and just eat government Money. When you come to make a report they treat you like a criminal instead of the victim. Its like you bothering them to do thier own job. What about the young lady body that was found close to airport area? If I remember right she was from liberta.That apperently suppose to go church with her boyfriend the day in question, when he could not get in contact with her he reported her missing.

  • Teacher for Life June 27, 2025, 7:04 PM

    My heartfelt condolences to you Mom. May the Almighty hold you in His living arms and bring you comfort and a measure of peace. May your darling son’s soul rest in eternal peace. May those involved in this case, those involved in all the other murder cases and the missing persons cases be brought to justice. It’s high time to stop the killing in this beautiful island.

  • Anonymous June 27, 2025, 6:58 PM

    Ohhh really they found orden?

  • Junella June 27, 2025, 6:35 PM

    Honestly coming from a mother, I believe this woman needs comfort rather than the negative comments. She may never see her son again. She have no clue what happened to him but her story is plausible because this boy have been missing for a while and he was last seen in Antigua on the Ganga farm. Sometimes we have to put ourselves in the shoes of these parents. Clearly she is seeking closure. We should embrace her and not crucify her.

  • Ben Simmons June 27, 2025, 5:49 PM

    Well it is quite obvious that this boy died. Thing is how does the person who told her know what happened to him. She should inquire whether he was an acomplice in the matter

  • Anonymous June 27, 2025, 5:24 PM

    I didn’t know they found Order’s body? First time hearing about this…. Is it for a fact??????

  • Devorn Carter June 27, 2025, 5:10 PM

    It’s people like you who sides with the morons over at UPP. Anything to bring down a good government like the ABLP. Why must she sue the government? Why should the government be include in all yall foolery? Sold out to Gaston and his administration! Considering the young man, condolences to the family and all of Trinidad that may be affected by this! If it’s true, well clearly it is, but, if it’s true then RIP Thomas

  • Rhea June 27, 2025, 5:05 PM

    Hearing mommy cry at the end sounds like a never ending pain. It’s sad that anyone, any family has to go through this type of pain! And still will get no kind of Justice! Of they didn’t want the guy working with them again. It would’ve been easier to send him back to his country! But any sort of sacrifice for a little extra cash in the business

  • Jaden June 27, 2025, 5:01 PM

    Sue the government and the farm owner! IDC who gets mad under here. I SAID WHAT I SAID! SUE DEM IDIOTS!!

  • Antigua Surf June 27, 2025, 4:57 PM

    Wouldn’t say she’s lying if they gave me the chance! It’s crazy to believe that this young man can just disappear with no trace to this day!! But they won’t look into it or anything. We won’t even hear from the officials! Everything is hush up just like Orden’s decomposed body they found in Swetes. And Chantel’s Murder Case!

  • Faithful national #1 June 27, 2025, 4:28 PM

    Hey, isn’t SINBAD also from Glanvilles??? Taken from Antigua BY BOAT according to ” credible” info allegedly received by his Trinidadian mother????? Hmmmmm, this country is in dire need of a purge!!!!
    Meanwhile, JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL CRUMP NOW!!!!!
