H Gonzalez December 2012.jpg(CNS): As part of the on-going investigation into the disappearance of Hemerson Raymond Gonzalez, a Guyanese national who was last seen on Tuesday 11 December, two women have now been arrested. Police said that following an operation which took place this morning (Wednesday 2 January) in the Savannah and Prospect areas, the women are currently detained in police custody. A 25-year-old woman was arrested at an address in Canyon Dawn Drive, Savannah, on suspicion of being concerned in the possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply, and a 19-year-old woman was arrested in Prospect on suspicion of misleading the police and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Police said that Gonzalez’ mother has been informed of these developments and is being supported by an RCIPS family liaison officer.

Gonzales, who is a frequent visitor to Cayman but not a resident, was last seen some four weeks ago. He had been staying at a friend’s house in Canyon Dawn Drive, where he was allegedly last seen at about 5:30pm.

Despite extensive searches Gonzalez has not been found. He speaks with a Guyanese accent, is about 5’ 8” tall, with a dark brown complexion and curly black hair  He weighs about 180lbs, has a tattoo of a compass on his left forearm and writing tattooed on the inside of his left wrist. When last seen he was wearing brown jeans shorts, a t-shirt and blue low cut cloth shoes. At the time of his disappearance police said that Gonzalez was feeling ill and had been suffering from severe vomiting.

He arrived in Grand Cayman on Sunday, 9 December, and has not been in contact with any friends since Tuesday evening, 11 December. Checks with local hospitals have confirmed that he has not sought medical attention for his illness.

The lead investigating officer on the missing person case is Detective Sergeant Charmane Huntley, who can be reached at George Town Police Station Criminal Investigation Department 9494222.

The RCIPS Major Incident Room has been activated at the George Town Police Station. Anyone with information can call 925-7240 or 926-3975. Police have also created an e-mail account to allow people to send information on-line directly to the incident room HemersonGonzalez@hotmail.com

    I am hoping that the Frank E Flowers screenplay version we are all now imagining did not actually happen, and that they find this guy somewhere soon.

    I seem to remember it was the missing teacher’s friends who put up fliers, organised the searches, and payed for the private helicopter fees.

    This man’s ‘friends’ have been arrested in connection with drug and other offences in relationship to disappearance.

    When the Nurse Karry Ann went missing, there were numerous searches organised by her family and friends.

    Doesn’t seem to me that there was any racial element to it.

    16:06 I agree with you.  I thought they had found this man.  I am appauled that there is no big search went out for this man.  Remember sometime last year or early this year the man from England who went missing on the West Bay Beach?  There were people from all over the Island and offisland looking for him.

    Caymanians and foreign people on here you disgust me.   How could you all be so thoughtless not to have organize a search party for the man, and SHAME ON YOU RCIP for not keeping the public updated with news of this missing man.  No continued up to date news from any of the News stations or Police.  Should I feel prejudice on this Island?  Yes>  Just sit back and watch how the police work for some people.  They spend thousands of gallons of gassolene using the boat and helicopter for CERTAIN PEOPLE when they are missing and they could not care less about someone who is B—-K  SHAME ON YOU, and talking about christian people?  Then again where are the churches when these things happen.  Can the churches do anything beside hold meetings to collect money.  THE CHURCHES ON THIS ISLAND need to do more than they are doing.  They helps with absolutely nothing.  SELFISH.  Living in their own world.  I do hope 2013 bring on some changes with the Churches, because you are the worse example of showing love I have seen.

      Our country needs cleansing from the inside out.  Too many have run a mock and threw eggs on our faces. Don't blame the churches, blame it on greed, short sightedness, and the almighty dollar.

      Now that you know he is still missing, why don't  you become proactive and start the ball rolling; maybe everyone is like you – sitting back, pointing fingers and  waiting for someone  else to do something.

      It was the family of missing Nathan who organised and coordinated the searches, who handed out flyers, who created websites and kept them updated and who raised money to pay for the helicopter searches. No racism here apart from what you are trying to stir up with your venomous post.

      Thoughts and prayers are with all the families.

        Next time a story like this is released in the public media, I will bring a copy over and read it to you so it won’t still be ‘news to you’ 2 weeks later and you can roll up your sleeves and pitch in and help in your way by saying “poor guy” in a more timely manner.
