Earlier this week, we told you about the worrisome disappearance of 43 year-old Evan Neal. 

The father of 3 owns a fishing camp on Mapp Caye, and he went missing over the weekend. On last Saturday night, police found his watchman 29 year-old, Edinio Enso Humes, dead in a latrine, with a gunshot to the head. 

Tonight, his family is gravely concerned about his whereabouts, and they fear the worst. 

Police told us that they’ve been searching the seas around his fishing camp with the Coast Guard, but, so far, the search has come up empty:

ASP Alejandro Cowo - OC, CIB Belize City
“For Mr. Evan Neal, up to now, we cannot establish who is the second person that was along with Mr. Neal. We have been told a name, that’s why, we don’t want to call a name, and we not sure. Yes, the efforts continue. I know that on Wednesday, police was on the island along with Coast Guard. We were combing the 2 small islands within that vicinity, but up to now, it has proven to be futile.â€￾

Reporter
“Sir, you’ve heard the family refute the theory of this incident being related to drugs. Are you still looking at it from that angle?â€￾

ASP Alejandro Cowo
“Yes, we still suspect that it has to do with some kind of drug transaction.â€￾

The Neal family is asking that if anyone has information on his whereabouts, please call them at 651-1429.
