CCTV Footage Shows Missing Man’s Last Known Movements as Search for Orden David Intensifies

Surveillance footage has provided the last known sighting of missing man Orden David, showing him leaving a casino alone just before midnight on Saturday and getting into his car on Tanner Street. He was then seen driving through several areas before disappearing from view.

“The camera footage shows that he drove down the lower part of Tanner Street where he made that turn just around where Eis Store clothing store used to be. From there, he journeyed up Newgate Street, crossed over from Newgate Street around the Corn Alley area, and that’s where we lost sight of him,” Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Frankie Thomas, stated.

Investigators suspect that blind spots in CCTV coverage mean they cannot determine whether David picked up anyone along the way, adding to the growing mystery. Nearly a week into the search, there are still more questions than answers.

Law enforcement authorities have been combing different parts of the island, determined to locate David and his vehicle.

“I just want to use this opportunity to let the general public know this is a serious matter, it’s a serious concern. This matter is being given the same attention as anyone else that would have gone missing,” Thomas assured.

He confirmed that police have been conducting extensive searches, using both foot and mobile patrols, as well as deploying drones in an effort to find any trace of the missing man.

One of the most puzzling aspects of the case is that neither David nor his car has been found.

“It’s rather strange, it’s mysterious. But again, we have professionals, we have detectives who are determined and committed to the task. I am more than certain that we will find some piece of evidence—something to say this is it or to point us where we need to go,” Thomas added.

Authorities have now shifted their focus to the eastern side of the island, hoping for a breakthrough.

As the urgency of the search grows, police are appealing to the public for assistance.

“To the family, rest assured the police are doing everything that we possibly and humanly can to find Ordin David. Hopefully, we are still optimistic and open-minded that he will be found alive,” Thomas said.

Anyone with information, no matter how small, is urged to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or the Parham Police Station at 462-1810.

  1. Please repost picture of car, colour etc. Who was the last contact in phone? WhatsApp won’t give any info according to security of what’s ap. Is his phone traceable? Laptop if any?
    I pray he’s located.

    Look at comments from people in his contacts in social media if possible.

  2. Can’t the phone provider give the authority the last tower ping from his phone this can help narrow down the search if it on the E, N, S, W also Google, find my location for sure the are people on 8sland that can gain access to Gmail account.

    The other recommendation is to search road side like Perry Bay road, devils bridge, valley road, or old road side coastal zone to see it the car plunge in to the sea,
