ST JAMES, Jamaica — The search for 36-year-old Rushelle Gordon, who disappeared in Montego Bay last Thursday, has ended after police confirmed that she has been found.
Gordon, affectionately known as ‘Neeky’, is from Hendon in Norwood, Montego Bay, and had been the subject of a public appeal after her family became increasingly concerned about her whereabouts.
Her disappearance sparked particular concern because she has a medical condition, is unable to speak and requires regular medication.
According to reports, Gordon went missing on Thursday, November 5, after travelling in a taxi with her mother, Joycelin Gordon.
The two were reportedly in the Paradise Row area of Orange Street in downtown Montego Bay when Rushelle stepped out of the vehicle to allow other passengers to exit.
However, the taxi reportedly drove away with her mother still inside, leaving Rushelle behind.
Her family subsequently launched a search and appealed to members of the public for assistance in locating her.
Her mother had expressed concern about her daughter’s safety and well-being, particularly because of her medical needs and difficulty communicating.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) confirmed on Tuesday, November 10, that Gordon had been located.
However, the police did not disclose where she was found, the circumstances surrounding her discovery or whether she required medical attention.
The announcement brings an end to the public search for the Montego Bay woman, whose disappearance had prompted concern among relatives and members of the community.
