posted (June 1, 2020)
A body was found this weekend behind Tapir Bar at mile 31/2 on the George Price Highway in Belize City.

Police found what appeared to be the pelvis bone of a human body buried about 1 feet in the ground.

Investigators also found a pair of jeans pants, a white shirt, and a pair of Reebok Tennis shoes. The police are describing it as a John Doe, but the brother of a missing man is convinced that it's 23 year old Ben Reid.

Last week we told you about that went missing from Ross Penn Road on May 13th and has yet to return.

His brother Albert Churchill Reid shared his disgust that his brother's body has left out in the open to decompose.

Albert Churchill Reid, Brother of Benjamin
"I got a feeling because I can't sleep good, like he bothers me. I dream about him and like he is telling me, like he is trying to show me who do it. January 14th my birthdate my brother was born, so my mom bring him home as my birthday gift. Him and I are the same birthdate. The person who chance my brother out of his life and took away my birthday from me - he is my only baby brother they took away from me. That hurts me a lot and if anyone who do it, all I will say God bless them on their way too and everything will be okay. Benji is a nice person, loving and sweet, kind and he likes taking care of his daughter. My brother and I are close, so brother already told me everything before everything that happened, so I done know everything that happened and what went wrong. So, it's like what I said, God is up there and he has his eyes open and he knows and he sees everything. They say a lot of things about my brother that is a lie due to the system. My brother is strong. They found his decomposed for so long if that is he, for nothing. They chance him and I will find out who killed him."

The family has yet to identify the body.
