Conrad Jones Still Missing
posted (September 20, 2012)
It's been over a week since 64 year-old Conrad Jones, a former assistant inspector of police went missing.

Jones, now a Custom Guard went missing last Thursday after he was dropped off at the Hattieville Junction around 11 that night. He was last seen at the bus stop in front of Golden Haven Home for the Elderly in Hattievillie by a watchman around 2am that morning but shortly after around 2:30, he disappeared.

Numerous searches have been conducted in the Hattieville area, but there is still no sign of Jones. Tonight his family is offering a reward of five hundred dollars to any who can help with information about his where-a-bouts. His daughter told us more:..

"The search although there have been many - none of them have turned up fruitful as yet. We are still in the same place we were the first time we made the report that my father is still missing and no one knows where he is."

"He went to Benque for his job and the driver left him at the Hattieville roundabout at about 11:30pm. The security guard from the old folks home said that he saw him there 2:30am the morning still waiting on the bus and right after he disappeared."

"We are hoping for the best. But after 1 complete week because today makes 1 week since he has been missing. It's kind of hard, we are trying and hoping for the best but again we are bracing ourselves for the worst. If anyone knows anything just say something. I am not going to cry I want justice, I just want my dad. My dad was a police officer for over 30 years. If my dad is going to sit somewhere he is going to sit somewhere - he is not going to get up and go and he was not in that state of mind to say he was so senile as what people believe that he's going to walk away - he is not going to do that."

"I understand the family is offering a reward?"

Shilpa Jones, daughter
"Right now to aid with the investigation or to aid with some type of lead because he just could not have disappeared into thin air, somebody must know something or somebody must have heard something, some little whisper they probably heard. We are putting up a reward of $500 to any information that would lead to his discovery even if it goes from a search and rescue to search and find a body we still would like him because we would still want to give him a proper rest because I think if nothing else my dad was an honest man and as I said he was a policeman for over 30 years. Everyone had nothing but good things to say about him even up to now when people ask - they have nothing to say, 'oh Mr. Jones, the exhibit room keeper' - 'Mr. Jones, AIP' - 'Mr. Jones, he got me out of this situation and that situation.' It's heartbreaking because to see that all of what y dad has given and what he has done for the community to serving his country, it is so heartbreaking that we are at this point. So if anyone knows anything I am appealing to the public - if you know something please just contact the nearest police station, call my number, I am on Facebook. My friends and I are doing a network where everyone has picked it up and they are passing the picture along. We just want to know something, it's very hard sitting here not knowing anything."

Anyone with information about Jones' whereabouts is asked to contact the nearest police station, or telephone number, 605-4606.
