Relatives and friends of fourteen year-old Jasime Henry are seeking the assistance of the public to locate her after she went missing from her Hibiscus Place, West Ruimveldt home, Saturday afternoon.
The St Stanislaus College student was last seen wearing a pair of black pants and a white blouse. She reportedly fled her home after having an argument with her father, Paul Henry.

Missing: Jasime Henry

Henry, a minibus driver, said that he was in Region Ten, when he last spoke to his daughter.
“I spoke to her over the phone about an issue and I kind of pulled her up and she hung up the phone. She a big fourteen -year old, people mistake her for a seventeen year -old all the time, but I spoke her about the issue before and she lied so I kind of confronted her…”
Henry says that the teenager was left at home in the care of her eighteen-year old brother.
“I am usually on the road because of my work but her brother watches over her. We’ve never had this problem before. She never ran away from home…her mother migrated to the United States a few years ago but they still share a good relationship. Ever since she went missing her mother has not stopped calling.”
Henry has since lodged a missing person’s report at the Ruimveldt Police Station.
“I’ve checked every possible place with family and friends…In fact, I have a list of telephone numbers for all her close friends but no one seems to know where she is. I have checked as far as Parika and other areas in West Demerara. Jasime needs to return home…she has school,” Mr. Henry said in his appeal to the public for assistance in finding his daughter.
He said Jasime is about 140 lbs, approximately 5 ft ’7’inches and is of mixed (Amerindian and African) descent.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Jasime Henry can contact the nearest police station or call her father on telephone number 660-4761.
