Father appeals to the public to help find missing daughter

Dec 14, 2015 News

A 78-year-old man is asking the public to help him find his daughter who was removed from the Georgetown Public Hospital and taken to a home in “South” by an ambulance.
Charles Thomas stated that his daughter Debra Figueira’s last traceable movements were in August 2014 when an ambulance from the Georgetown Public Hospital took her back to her village to find her home.
He stated that Figueira, 45, of Lot 38 Ruimzeight, West Coast Demerara was a patient in the hospital’s mental ward when she was suddenly discharged and taken back to her village.
“We didn’t know anything. The hospital didn’t inform us that they were sending her home…is till after the ambulance left that we heard that some man said  ‘we take the mad girl back home’ and then we knew,” he said.
He noted that when the men did not find her house, they took her back to Georgetown to a Government home. However, Thomas stated that when they checked the home, she was not found.
“It was like she was never there. I want my daughter back. It’s almost a year and she is not well enough to be alone on the streets,” he lamented.
“We checked everywhere but she was nowhere to be seen. People telling us that they saw her but whenever we checked it was nothing concrete,” he said.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Debra Figueira is asked to contact the nearest police station or #602 4670 or 6978182.
