It is now seven days since Philommena Alfred went missing. The 73-year-old woman, who is from Grant New Port, Pomeroon River, was last seen at Republic Bank’s Anna Regina, Essequibo branch with her husband.
Mrs. Alfred reportedly accompanied her husband to the bank last week Monday to uplift their pensions. The woman reportedly waited outside the bank, while her husband conducted the transaction inside.
When the man exited the bank sometime around 14:00hrs, his wife was nowhere to be seen. Family members told this publication that they made numerous searches, but none were fruitful. They said that they also received calls from individuals in Lima Sands and Capoey, reporting sightings of Mrs. Alfred.
