Candy Jageshar, the mother of missing 21-year-old Thomas Vasquez, is considering legal action against individuals she suspects may be hiding information regarding her son’s disappearance.

Thomas, a Trinidadian national, vanished three months ago in Glanvilles, Antigua, where he was working on a farm. Recently, Candy received alarming information suggesting he may have been taken on a fishing trip, murdered, and thrown overboard.

With no official police report addressing his case, she feels compelled to push for a more thorough investigation into her son’s prolonged absence.

Thomas had previously visited Antigua and Barbuda in 2024, and while he was reportedly working on a farm, he disappeared.

    So much harted and harsh words against a woman who simply wants answers. Sometimes we are very unkind as humans

    This mother is grieving not knowing what happened to her son but yet u find time to judge how she raised her son… what makes you think she raised him as a drug mule? Why would she lie about him being in our country? Sounds like you know a lot maybe they need to investigate you.

    You are so full of shit…. How do u know she raised a drug mule and how do u know he never entered Antigua? This is your reaction towards a grieving mother… sounds like you know a lot, maybe they need to investigate you..
    The country is getting worse, to much unsolved mysteries…smfh

    I’m sorry to hear about this woman’s plight. She must know her son lived a colorful life. He enters our country and left under dubious and suspicious circumstances.
    What would you like the police report to say, you’re a terrible mother for raising a drug mule?
    Where should the police look for your son? Antigua has no record of him entering or departing.
    I’d start with your local authorities in your country and let them work the case from there. The devil is in the details.
    Sorry about your son but your “facts” on this case is not really facts but opinions. Opinions are like bellybutton’s everyone has one.

    The will one day reveal the wrong that has done towards you and to your son. 3 months and the authorities barely acted on his disappearance and this is no good

  • Ryan July 15, 2025, 12:00 AM

    Still find it sad that your son can disappear and no one feel it in their heart to reach out with any information! You don’t deserve this and no family does

  • informed Citizen July 14, 2025, 8:21 PM

    Candy Jageshar deserves answers. Three months with no police report? That’s not just a gap; it’s a failure of duty.
