Family seeking assistance to find elderly man
Having left his D’Urban Street Housing Scheme (Scheme Yard), Georgetown home around noon on Tuesday last, 83-year-old Winston DeHaarte has not been seen since.
Missing: 83-year-old Winston De Haarte
According to his granddaughter, Tamara Austin, she only learnt of DeHaarte’s disappearance yesterday and became very concerned.
She reported that the man who has lived at the aforementioned address in excess of 20 years was living there with his nephew, Sean Greaves, at the time of his disappearance.
According to Austin, considerable efforts are made to ensure that her grandfather does not leave the premises since he is known to suffer from senility.
DeHaarte who answers to the name Winston or Grandfather, is of mixed race and has grey curly hair. He is slimly built and stands at approximately five feet, seven inches.
Although the family has not yet filed a missing person’s report, Tamara Austin said that search parties have been organised among family members to check out a number of places that he has been known to frequent in the past.
“He would usually get flashbacks about places that he knew when he was young, but when he goes there he forgets how to get back home, so we are hoping to look for him for a while before we report his disappearance to the police.”
Anyone who recognises Mr. DeHaarte from the accompanying photo can contact Tamara Austin on telephone numbers 218-3127 or 618-3370.
