The Police are continuing to look into reports of death threats made against family members of Vincia James.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

James has been missing for over four years and is presumed dead. However, last Thursday, October 7,\u00a0\u00a0items belonging to her, including identification cards, were fished from a pond in the North Sound area.<\/p>\n

A man who was out fishing reportedly reeled in a bag that belonged to the missing woman.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Her ex-boyfriend, Mikhail Gomes of Piggots, has been charged with her murder and is currently on bail.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One of James\u2019 relatives says her son received a threatening telephone call in which he was told that family members would go missing if Gomes goes back to prison.<\/p>\n

However, the family says they are not going to be intimidated by anyone; and they hope the Police will be able to trace the call and arrest the person who made the threat.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The call was placed from an \u201cunknown\u201d number, and a relative is wondering why it is taking the Police this long to trace it.\u00a0\u00a0But a source tells REAL News that officers are working in earnest to trace the\u00a0 call and find the perpetrator.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Police are yet to drain the pond from which James\u2019 bag was fished.\u00a0\u00a0Other sources say that a dive is being contemplated since the pond\u2019s waters are not contained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Our News Room could not get verification as to when these procedures might be done; but persons say this should have been done the same night to determine whether skeletal remains are in the pond.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

James went missing on April 7, 2017 after leaving work at the Dixie Betting Company just after 1 p.m.<\/p>\n
