Cops in another fruitless search for missing GEA employee
Detectives yesterday evening scoured the Yarrowkabra backlands in yet another fruitless search for missing Guyana Energy Authority employee LeVoy Taljit, who went missing 14 days ago.
Missing: LeVoy Taljit
The police team rushed to the area late yesterday after receiving information that Taljit was tied to a tree, a short distance from the area where his vehicle had been found. The ranks searched the area until nightfall without finding a trace of the missing man.
Meanwhile, police have since released the associates of the prime suspect in Taljit’s disappearance. However, the 32-year-old suspect from Soesdyke was still in custody yesterday.
Investigations have revealed that Taljit’s ‘friend’ was in possession of the missing man’s bank card and withdrew money from the GEA employee’s account after he vanished. He reportedly handed over the bank card to the police after taking them to a house where he had hidden it.
The associate said that the suspect withdrew some $50,000 from Taljit’s bank account, but claimed that the missing GEA staffer owed him money and had given him the bank card.
According to the source, the two men communicated extensively via an internet site. A senior official said that investigators are going through the men’s computers in the hope of unearthing any evidence about Taljit’s whereabouts.
Taljit, who is of Amerindian and East Indian descent, was reported missing over two weeks ago.
He was last seen wearing a burgundy-coloured Tee shirt and faded blue jeans.
Taljit had previously worked in the Enforcement Department of the Guyana Revenue Authority for several years.
