Man Missing For Four Days, Family Harbours Worst Fears
posted (December 27, 2024)
Tonight, the family of a missing man in Corozal fears for the worse. Joshua Hall was last seen on December 23rd - and Joshua Hall's family is gravely concerned for his whereabouts. They are pleading to the public for information, even if it's about a shallow grave somewhere.

His sister says he was last seen at the police station where he has to go sign in weekly because he's on bail:

Ayiana Hall, Sister of Missing Victim
"The last message sent to his girlfriend was that he's leaving to sign in and he will be back shortly, but he never returned. The reason I base and I'm trying to push to find out whether he left the police station or not is because that's the last we know of him when he signed in."

"After that, we cannot say where he went, if he met someone, what happened. And we don't know, they cannot confirm if he left there. They can confirm that he signed, but nobody can say if he left out of the station."

"And that's our biggest, you know, like we're trying to find out whether or not he did leave or, you know, something happened. We don't know."

"So the police station doesn't have cameras?"

Ayiana Hall, Sister of Missing Victim
"They say the cameras aren't working right now."

"And our family is just desperate. We have no answers. We have no clue. We have no lead and we don't know where to look for my brother."

Reporter
"So is the family leading more to the possibility that he's being held somewhere or that you guys are looking for a body?"

Ayiana Hall, Sister of Missing Victim
"I'm trying to be realistic being that it's been four days. I know the possibilities of finding my brother alive is low. And, you know, I don't want to give myself hope that we're looking for him and he's alive."

"So what we're searching for is a shallow grave, you know, any site of the bike. The bike is nowhere to be found, you know, anything. The clothing he was wearing, his slippers. So far, we haven't been able to find anything."

"All information will be kept completely confidential. The reward is directly from us. You know, the reward is they don't have to go to the police. They don't have to go to anyone. All we want is something that will lead us to my brother."

Joshua Hall has his first child on the way in January. We note that this is not the first time he has gone missing - but his family says this is the first time he has gone for so long.

Anyone with information can call the numbers on your screen. And there is a five thousand dollar reward.
