2 months ago, we told you about Evan Neal. He's the father of 3 who owns a fishing camp on Mapp Caye. He mysteriously went missing, and shortly after his disappearance, police found his watchman, 29 year-old Edinio Enso Humes, dead in a latrine on the island with a gunshot wound to the head.
Well, since then, police and Coast Guard have continued to look for him without success. But, this weekend, they found one of his boats, as well as another which was reported missing 2 years ago.
It's an unusual discovery, and police shared more details with us today:
ASP Alejandro Cowo - OC, CIB Belize City
"Yesterday, police continued with that investigation along with Coast Guard personnel. They visited the Mapp Caye area again, where between some mangroves, police found one of the boat that was reported missing, by the name of "Shannon", along with its engine. The boat was found between the mangrove. It was checked by police, but there was nothing else, only small fishing equipment inside of it."
"Since the investigation, as I had mentioned, there were several instances that police were visiting that area. That area is a big area that has many channels. So, this is the channel that police were traveling through, until yesterday, they went through that one, where they found that boat, and another that was reported missing about 4 years ago."
Police say that they will continue to conduct periodic searches for Neal near Mapp Caye.
The family told us they had searched extensively in that area - and believe someone recently put the boats there.
