Oneil Creary, missing for almost four months. - Contributed

Almost four months after his brother Oneil mysteriously disappeared, Christopher Creary is just as worried today as he was then.

Oniel, who operated a stall off South Camp Road, Kingston, and a taxi from Duke Street to Yallahs, St. Thomas, went missing on May 11. Christopher told THE STAR that he was seen on the night he disappeared with two men aboard his taxi. Creary was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt with yellow stripes, a pair of jeans shorts and black slippers. His hair was in corn rows.

His brother fears the worst and feels that Oniel may have been killed. Oniel's family must endure the pain of calling police stations and travelling to the morgue to view bodies that the police discover. Though the journey is a painful one, it is a crucial part of their quest for closure. "Mi jus waan find a strand of hair fi him. Mi want justice," said Christopher.

Little effort from cops

Christopher is angry at the police for what he says is a lack of effort on their part. He says he has told them about several theories and things he has heard, but said nothing has come of any of them. He says he provided the police with information about people his brother used to be friends with, but many of these people have still not been interviewed.

He said: "Dem come a mi yard several times and tek di same report. Dem a treat mi like a dog missing or is a ghost. Mi feel seh dem nah do enough. Mi affi do everything, mi affi distribute flyers and dem a gwaan like di man never exist."

Waiting for news is painful, so painful that Christopher admitted that he visited a 'mother woman' to see if she could tell him anything about his brother's disappearance. He said, "Mi go to the mother woman and she seh people close to wi know what happen but dem jus not talking."

Christopher says the guilty party should come forward and let them know what happened to his brother. "Mek dem know seh di family will forgive them, jus tell us where the body is. Di yout dem want see dem father."

An officer from the Elletson Road CIB, told THE STAR that there were no breakthroughs in the case and nothing concrete to work on. He said: "We can't do anything unless we have all the information. People need to come forward with information because we have no clue as to what direction to take. We checked all the unidentified bodies that have turned up and still nothing."

Not knowing what has happened to his brother is the worst part for Christopher. "Mi want find out if im really gone," he said, "an mi wan know who do it." He also spoke of the fact that his family was not doing well and that his mother was sickly. Oniel's four children are confused and ask for their father every day. "Di children are mourning. Even last night mi a cry. Mi cant sleep a night time. A mi only likkle brother. Mi nuh know a who tek him, but mi know is something drastic. My mother is distraught, she come out from England and get sick. Wi haffi go send her back," he said.
