LETTER: Police Must Release Identities and Photos of Suspects in Abduction Case

15

Dear Editor,

The disappearance of nine-year-old Chantel Crump has gripped the nation with fear and concern. While police investigations are ongoing, it is troubling that the authorities have yet to publicly release the identities and photos of the suspects in this case—some of which are already circulating on social media.

The public has a right to know who these individuals are, especially if there is a possibility that they could pose a danger to others. In many other jurisdictions, law enforcement agencies swiftly publish images and details of persons of interest in missing persons cases, understanding that public awareness can be a critical tool in solving crimes.

If the police have credible leads and are actively questioning suspects, why the secrecy? If these individuals are innocent, an official statement can clarify their status. If they are persons of interest, the public should be aware, as someone may have vital information that could aid the investigation.

Authorities cannot afford to wait in silence while the community is left to speculate. Transparency is essential, and in a case as urgent as this, withholding information only fuels uncertainty and distrust.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda must act now. Release the names, release the photos, and let the public be part of the solution.

Sincerely, Mother of One

  1. If they are in custody they are not a danger to anyone. If they are innocent then they might be at risk of vigilantes. If they are guilty and the story is blown out of proportion in the media, they may take the defense of not being able to get a fair trial because of widespread prejudice. I’ll also wait for a certain former commissioner of police to weigh in.

  2. Due process, antigua is the only place that do stuff like this, withhold info from public, they done found the child uniform, thats evidence enough to charge them with something so release the names and photos, somebody might know something about wat else they did

  3. Release the names, it has long been rumored what they are into. Ask Turks Lee and others who have been investigating the child sex ring.

  4. Schools need be on alert and vigilant. Talk to the students about the dangers! Know who is lurking around like cockroaches and rats. LOCK THINGS DOWN!!

    They are watching schools and targeting innocent children! If you see them, approach them and ask them why they are there. Know the parents and guardians!

    Parents talk to your children. GO SCHOOL AND COME STRAIGHT HOME!!!!
    We need to go back to the village raising the child!

    EACH ONE TEACH ONE…..LOVE

  5. I am afraid that our current crop of police lack the necessary skills to take criminals from confession to conviction. Former Police Inspector Feuilteau (Fellto) would have had, by now, confessions leading to the actual discovery of the whereabouts of the abducted child and information about the satanic cults operating in Antigua. Very disappointed that no reports of progress have been made since yesterday. And Vicky might very well be clairvoyant!!!

  6. I dnt know the man but that girl over me a ride one morning she was sitting in the back of the car a man was driving I didn't go I dnt know the man but that girl over me a ride one morning she was sitting in the back of the car a man was driving I didn't go

    I believe its not the first they kidnapping person she has done this before

  7. Why are they protecting criminals!!!! If you found the little girl uniform how come they claim to drop her home??? An look where grace farm is to Glanville kmft Why are they protecting criminals!!!! If you found the little girl uniform how come they claim to drop her home??? An look where grace farm is to Glanville kmft

    Why u can’t beat them up !!!! Let them talk

  8. Totally fucking agree, release their names and photos. High time we put a stop to this bullshit, bring back the damn hangman, or introduce the firing squad

  9. WHAT THE HELL…! …MORE OF IGNORANCE: …MISUNDERSTANDING

    There may be no doubt that the entire nation has been troubled by that which citizens have been led to believe are mere cases of ‘…MISSING PERSONS.’

    THAT WHICH CITIZENS SHALL ‘…UNDERSTAND,’ IS THAT POLICE SHALL NOT REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF PERSONS:

    (a) ‘…MERELY DETAINED FOR INTERROGATION: or

    (b) …SIMPLY INVITED FOR AN INTERVIEW.’

    ***

    GUIDED BY JUDGES’ RULES (SEE WIKIPEDIA):

    Criminal investigators shall follow the ‘…GUIDING JUDGE’S RULES.’

    Thus ‘…NO MATTER THE BELIEF,’ they could never ‘…EFFECT AN ARREST’ without:

    (i) ‘…INDEPENDENTLY OBTAINING PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE: (Evidence that on the ‘…FACE’ of which, suggests a ‘…SUSPECT’S INVOLVEMENT’ in the crime being investigated): or

    (ii) …A SUSPECT:

    (a) …ADMITS HIS/HER INVOLVEMENT (Partial): or

    (b) …GIVES FULL CONFESSION- (Total involvement in the criminal act).’

    ***

    MEDIA-HYPES: …MORE MIND-CONFUSING

    Can state, authoritatively, that without ‘…POLICE CONFIRMATION/MEDIA VERIFICATION,’ through:

    (a) ‘…POLICE PRESS STATEMENTS: or

    (b) …MEDIA BRIEFINGS,’ these ‘…MEDIA-HYPES’ were often ‘…MORE DISAPPOINTINGLY MIND-CONFUSING.’

    ***
    CONTINUE READING BUT LISTEN ONLY TO THE POLICE.

    ***

    DETENTION OF CRIMINAL SUSPECTS:

    That which citizens shall know that ‘…DETENTION OF CRIMINAL SUSPECTS,’ as stipulated by the ‘…Constitution Order’ [1981: No: 1106] has a duration of ‘…48 HOURS (2-days).

    ***

    Should there be ‘…NO BREAK-THROUGH’ within such period, ‘…SUSPECTS’ shall be ‘…RELEASED FROM DETENTION.’

    Criminal investigators have until ‘…SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2025,’ to make ‘ARREST’ for

    (a) ‘…KIDNAPPING: and

    (b) …MURDER.’

    ***

    SUSPECTS COULD BE SO ‘…RELEASED’ and subsequently be ‘ …DETAINED’ for another ‘…48 HOURS.’

    ***
    SEEN AS ABUSED:

    If ‘…SEEN AS ABUSED,’ then attorney could apply to a Judge for a ‘…WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.’ This is where a Judge shall ‘…ORDER THE COMMISSIONER’ to produce himself and the ‘SUSPECT’ before the COURT, and to show justification for ‘…BREACHING THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION.’

    ***
    NOW:

    DON’T GO MISSING.

    ***

    ***
    SHORTSIGHTEDNESS AND INABILITY TO ‘…THINK CRIME:’

    Except for:

    (a) ‘…MENTALLY CHALLENGED:

    (b) …SUFFERERS OF DEMENTIA (Memory Loss),’ as to seemingly walk aimlessly, yet to some place never intended.

    ***

    INCREASED FREQUENCY OF DISAPPEARANCE

    Now, for the ‘…INCREASE FREQUENCY OF DISAPPEARANCE,’ few family members could say that those that had ‘…RECENTLY DISAPPEARED,’ had been so afflicted.

    ***

    ASSOCIATED CRIMES: …PROFESSIONALLY URGED

    Though repetitious, it shall still be ‘…PROFESSIONALLY URGED’ that ‘…LAW ENFORCEMENT,’ must lift itself from the ‘…MISSING PERSON SYNDROME,’ and concentrate on these two ‘…ASSOCIATED CRIMES:

    (i) ‘…KIDNAPPING: and

    (ii) ‘…MURDER.’

    ***

    IF BY NOW, THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS APPEARS NOT TO BE WORKING, THEN MANY MORE PERSONS, WILL BE REPORTED ‘…MISSING.’

    ***
    CRIME SOLVING:

    Therefore, criminal investigators ‘SHALL’ concentrate more on ‘…CRIME SOLVING,’ than merely, casually and routinely ‘…SEARCHING FOR MISSING PERSONS.’

    THINK CRIME

    ***
