Hunting for Omar

Today, THE STAR in collaboration with the Jamaica Constabulary Force will begin a new feature called 'Missing You'. The aim of the feature is to profile each week two persons who have been reported as missing. We hope you can assist both the police and the loved ones of those missing in locating them. If you have seen these persons, please contact 119, the numbers of the relatives provided or the nearest police station.

After more than one year and six months away from home, Rhona Henry is still hunting for her son and hopes he may one day come home.

Henry's son, Omar Dennis, went missing in May last year and since then she has not seen or heard from him, despite checking almost everywhere, from the hospitals to the morgue.

"When I came home from work one evening I saw him cooking and I left him and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning and went to look for him he wasn't there," said Henry.

"I've checked everywhere but I haven't seen him. I really miss him."

Henry said this was not the first time Omar had gone missing. She said he regularly disappeared but this was the first time he had been gone for so long.

"He's kind of a special child. He can read and write, but he is special. I don't know why he has ran away because he has everything here to his comfort," she said. "He goes to friends sometimes and at other times he goes to far places. He has made me to know a lot of far places. He went missing once before and his story was published in THE STAR but that was from 2002."

Henry said the matter has been reported to the Stony Hill Police Station.
