LETTER: What Happened to Orden Passo David? The Country Is Still Waiting for Answers

Published
Orden “Passo” David

Dear Editor, 

It has been months since Orden Passo vanished without a trace from Antigua and Barbuda, and the silence surrounding his case has become deafening.

Friends, family, and members of the public are still asking: What happened to Orden Passo? Where is the investigation? Who is being held accountable for finding the truth?

Surveillance footage reveals that David was last seen leaving a Market Street casino at around 11:30 p.m. on January 25th, wearing a bright red vest and grey shorts and since then, there has been little public information from authorities about any leads, progress, or even whether the case remains active.

His disappearance has left a growing sense of unease in the community—especially for those who knew him as a hard-working, kind, and spirited individual.

Rumors and speculation have filled the void left by the lack of official updates. But for his loved ones, rumors are no substitute for answers. They are not just seeking closure, they are demanding justice. A body was found, we believe it is Passo. Yet police say they have sent the forensic samples for testing overseas. Not a word. Why is this so in Antigua and Barbuda?

As time stretches on, one message remains clear: Orden Passo David is not forgotten. His disappearance deserves attention, transparency, and action. Until there are answers, the search for truth must continue.

Concerned,

Sheniqua

    Please ask on behalf of ALL the persons who have mysteriously disappeared without a trace. ALL these missing persons have family and friends left mourning and weeping for their missing loved one. Sadly, Orden is but one.

      A person can ask about their own case in missing people. Nobody has the right to demand one must rally asking for all the missing persons or none. If everyone rally behind their missing person it will open all the cases. Blame those who dont rally behind their missing members not the ones who ask about their own. Come on

    I know there is some kind of sensationalism towards his gay dude but there are so many other parents, sisters, brothers, cousins who are longing to hear what happened to their missing loved one. So lets hear it for all those who have misteriously disappeared without a trace. This letter is for all of them.

    The police know darn well that the body that was found is that of Passo. Look at the amount of months and they cannot give the boys family the details. How much more can a person suffer

    Orden’s decomposed body was found in Swetes. I don’t know why the news outlet and the police are holding such information back!

    Speculation and silence are a cruel combo. If this were your brother, son, or friend, would whispers be enough? We need facts, not fragments.
