Recently relatives reported that his mother Paula Ann James of Yarakita, North West, Region One had left the boy in the care of his grandfather, Dennis Nunes, at Ideal Road, Waiakabra, Soesdyke/Linden Highway. They reported that on August 19, 2019, the boy indicated that he wanted to seek work in the interior, and travelled in the company of a friend called Romeo Jaime.
His grandfather noted that he did not give his permission, and asked his grandson to set up a meeting with the man who was taking him into the interior.
