WITH a look of deep worry on her face, Audrey Nicholson, whose son Curtis Miller went missing two Thursday ago, begged for anyone with information on his whereabouts, to come forward.

Time is running out for Miller’s loved ones, who are slowly coming to the realisation that he may have been killed.

“If we even get the carcass. We can’t find peace until we find out what happen to him. It’s like I am living in a dream, me still waiting to see him come home,” the woman said as she fought back tears.

Miller runs a route taxi between Old Harbour and May Pen and when he left his home at Sandy Bay in Clarendon on Thursday May 16, neither Miller nor his loved ones thought that he would not return home later that night.

His white Toyota Corolla motor car with a black bonnet bearing license plates PE6379 has also gone missing and it appears that Miller has vanished into thin air.

His relatives, friends, neighbours and fellow taxi drivers, incensed at what they described as the nonchalant approach taken by the police last week, gathered in front of the Old Harbour police station and staged a peaceful protest in an effort to get the cops to ramp up their efforts to find Miller or produce evidence that he had been killed.

“We no hear nothing from the police so we had to get active and go up there. My brother is missing and they didn’t even call us to inform us that they were working on the case. We knew nothing,” Miller’s brother Dale Miller told the Jamaica Observer.

“Even if we get the body, we coulda bury it knowing say at least we get him body, but right now we don’t know where to turn,” Dale Miller said before bursting into tears.

As his son walked away, Roy Miller, 79, sat under a mango tree and shook his head slowly.

The soft spoken father was a picture of grief and confusion and struggled to find words.

“Him never make daylight catch him even if him go out at night. I always wait till him come in and open the door for him before I go to my bed. From him missing I can’t sleep,” he said.

To compound the family’s woes, Miller’s cellular phone was up to Monday last week, being answered by a woman, whom they complain has been using expletives and chasing them off the phone.

“The amount of badword the woman cuss when you call the number you wouldn’t believe. It hurt because you know say is your brother phone and she a cuss you and you can’t do anything about it,” Dale Miller said.

Miller’s cousin, Joean Miller said the fact that someone could be using his phone days after he went missing, shows that the police could do more in an effort to get to the persons who may have harmed him.

“Somebody answering the phone up to Monday when we were at a protest in Old Harbour. A policeman answered the phone and hear the woman cursing. She never know it was a police she talking to. I heard the phone was traced to Rema (Wilton Gardens) in Kingston. If the police were taking it up in hand they would have got a trace on the phone,” she said.

However, the Clarendon police said that they are pulling out all the stops to find Miller and have been working in tandem with the Old Harbour police to unravel the mystery.

Joean Miller too, begged for information leading to Miller’s whereabouts.

“We just want closure. Even if we find a piece of bone we will bury it,” she said.

Miller is described by his relatives as a jovial, unassuming man, who did not speak a lot.

They called him Humble Man at the taxi stand,” his brother said.

For Miller’s relatives, hope is fading fast and although they know that it is highly likely that he may no longer be alive, they are still hoping that by some miracle, their loved one will return home in good health.
