Audrey Matura-Shepherd is the well-known, outspoken Vice President of Oceana in Belize, but that didn't stop a perpetrator from forging her stolen passport, and trying to pass it off as belonging to someone else.
That forged passport showed up 5 years later in a case in Orange Walk after police conducted a sting operation on the home of Matthew Williams in June 2011. You may remember him as the man who owned the vehicle police impounded because it was transporting 15 persons who were suspected to be cargo as part of a human trafficking move.
Williams was charged for the Matura passport and several others believed to be forged documents, and since then he's been making regular appearances in the Magistrate's Court for his adjournments. His matter was called up today where it was set down for the final date, and Matura was supposed to be crown witness against him.
That hearing couldn't take place because Williams' attorney did not show up for court. The matter is adjourned until July 30.
It is expected that on that date, Williams will get his day in court, and Matura-Shepherd will testify against him.
