By FRANCIS JOSEPH
Three women and four men are in police custody as the search continues for two year-old Angelo Tobias in Tobago.
In an update on Tuesday afternoon, the police revealed that searches were conducted at the Mt. St. George dump and Dam Road areas which have resulted in nothing of evidential value being found.
Searches continued on Tuesday in the Pig Farm Road district and personnel of the Cyber Unit were tasked with analyzing electronic devices seized as part of the investigations.
According to the TTPS, “the investigation remains a multi-agency effort, comprised of officers of the Special Victims Department, the Tobago Division Gang Unit, the Homicide Bureau of Investigations, the Tobago Divisional Task Force, the Canine Unit and the Criminal Records Office, with assistance from the Tobago Emergency Management Agency and the Hunters Search and Rescue Team.
“We emphasize that this is a highly sensitive and active investigation. The TTPS remains committed to conducting its work with the utmost professionalism, fairness, and respect for the constitutional rights of all parties involved.
“We are equally mindful of our responsibility to communicate with the public in a measured and responsible manner, and will provide updates as information becomes available and can be appropriately disclosed.”
Angelo was reported missing shortly after 7 pm on May 11 by his mother, Khalifa Tobias. She reported being at her home at Cambridge Trace, off Goodwood Main Road, Tobago, when Angelo disappeared. At home was her boyfriend, Shannon Miller. Both have been in police custody since Friday.
While Khalifa reported she was at home after 7 pm on May 11, CCTV footage showed that she and Miller were walking towards at a bar at 7.09 pm and returning from the same area at 7.49 pm. Angelo was not with them.
Initial reports stated that Angelo may have walked towards the sea and disappeared. But police now believe that something else may have happened to Angelo….on land.
