Dec 22, 2020 Four Missing Dangriga Fishermen; Is Foul Play Suspected? The search for four fishermen reported missing at sea on Friday continues, despite the efforts of the coast guard and police department taking an ominous turn. Forty-two-year-old Omar Thompson, twenty-nine-year-old Brenton Brackett, nineteen-year-old Leon Joseph and Jeffery Gomez, all residents of Dangriga, remain unaccounted for, following a fishing trip to Southern Long Caye around December eleventh. Thompson’s common-law wife, Shani Alvarez, reported to police that her last communication with him was last Monday while he was reportedly still on the island. Since then, she has made several attempts to reach him but her calls and messages have all gone unanswered. On Saturday, December nineteenth, a formal report was made to Dangriga police; a day after the Belize Coast Guard was notified of their disappearance. According to Operations Officer, Lieutenant Kenrick Thomas, they have been actively searching for the quartet of fishermen to no avail. In what appears to be a strange twist, News Five understands that Dangriga police are now pursuing a new lead that something untoward may have transpired on Southern Long Caye involving the four men.
