St Kitts and Nevis: Missing teen found

Police have called off their search for a missing teenager in St Kitts after she returned home.

It would appear that J’mique Isaac, 15, went home of her own accord on 18 September.

Media outlets were officially made aware of the news two days later.

According to the St Christopher and Nevis Police Force, the Washington Archibald High School student was interviewed by an investigator from the Special Victims Unit before being discharged into the custody of her mother.

Assistant Commissioner Andre Mitchell of the Crime Directorate thanked all who were instrumental in this investigation, as well as the media who helped their appeal.

He also encouraged members of the community to continue to support the police in their investigations.

“Let me say to our young persons, your parents or legal guardians are responsible for you, and it is your duty to inform them of your whereabouts whenever you will be away from home beyond the time you were expected home,” he said.

“Irrespective of how you feel or think about your time away from home, they are worried and concerned when you fail to return home when expected.”
