Tue, November 21, 2017
On Friday we told you about 83-year-old Sandhill resident Hubert Richards who went missing last week Thursday. He was running errands in the city and has not been seen since. Today police told us that none of the leads have panned out:

ACP Joseph Yvette, Head - NCIB
"I know that the investigators are out there and there are at some point coordinating with the family, and following leads as well as to where this person may have been. I believe that there was some surveillance video showing him in the Ladyville area, I believe around Friday."

"There were several leads which the police had followed, and most of them turned out to be that he wasn't in that area. But we are continuing, and we are continuing working with the family."

Footage from a 24/7 gas station in the Lords Bank area shows Richards walking en route to Sandhill. His family says that people have called them reporting a number of sightings of Richards. They believe he slept on a bus on Saturday night and then came down to Belize City.

He was last seen by Benny's on the Phillip Goldson Highway in Belize City. His granddaughter says that even though he was not diagnosed the family suspected he had Alzheimer's as he was becoming unusually forgetful. If you have seen Richards or know anything about his whereabouts the family asks that you contact them at 203-4784 or you can contact the police.
