LONG LOOK, Tortola, VI - After being last seen since June 26, 2023, and reported missing on June 29, 2023, 20-year-old Roshanio Pope of Long Look, Tortola, reported to the Police Station around 11:00 AM today, July 4, 2023, with an explanation.

    Our family's hearts are always afraid for our young ones these days. I really hope he returns soon and they should check in with the families at least once a day so we will know the last times we spoke to them and where they are.

    That perhaps some of the young people that is missing got caught by a black market organ ring that is selling human organs for big money? It might sound odd but, think about it. How is it that on a small Island like this people is missing and never heard from or seen again.

    He just looking attention. He is not missing the last time they found him in the bushes smoking weed with his partner them. The police need to charge him for starting an unnecessary scare and wasting their time and resources. Roshanio go your @&* home. Yes I know your parents might get on your nerves so you buss off to get away from them. But this is not the way to do it.

      He probably doesn't even know his family posted he is missing. I hope someone tells him so his family can relax.
