UPDATE: Raphael Fahie’s wife disputes SVG sources’ statements
Speaking exclusively with Virgin Islands News Online this morning July 1, 2014 she claimed that her husband’s name was not released by the Police in St Vincent and more so the search has not ended.
“That information is devastating to my children and to me, that is not true about my husband," she said.
She has however confirmed that Fahie is indeed missing in St Vincent's waters. Virgin Islands News Online was reliably informed with regards to drugs allegedly being found on the wrecked boat.
This is despite the statements to the contrary by St. Vincent Coast Guard Commander Dion Henry on Monday June 30, 2014 which suggested that the search was still on for the missing man and the vessel.
In speaking with this news site today July 1, 2014 Commander Henry said that the search has been suspended because of overcast weather conditions, which he said were not conducive for a search operation. He said it will be resumed when the weather improves.

“Thus far we have no indication of the vessel that was capsized or the person in the water. We are still conducting searches and thus far all results have been negative,” said Commander Henry.
However, Police sources in St. Vincent and the Grenadines have confirmed to this news site that a boat had been searched and a quantity of drugs found, leading to the arrest and placing into custody of a second Virgin Islander, who is said to have picked up by Marine Police as he attempted to swim ashore after the boat accident.
When this news site put to the Coast Guard the information about the boat being found, they maintained that this was not their information and that they were still searching for a boat and the person believed missing.

When contacted by this news site today June 28, 2014, an official of the St. Vincent Coast Guard said, “Yes there was an incident at sea, however I cannot confirm to you whether that particular person you’re talking about (Fahie) is dead or alive, because that person has not been found. If you cannot see that person you cannot pronounce that person dead.”
This news site has learnt that the St. Vincent Coast Guard has suspended its search for the missing man.
According to our authentic sources Fahie and another man were in the boat which crashed onto a reef. Marine Police in St. Vincent allegedly rescued the lone survivor who informed of the missing Fahie.

Why these young men won't leave the d..gs alone?
Your comment is very insulting to the thousands of BVIslanders who worked and is still working hard to own our homes honestly. I guess where you come from that is how people get what they have, but please do your research and you will find that you are wrong.
My house and those of my siblings houses are on the hill and for your information, they were not built with DRUG MONEY. My oldest brother built his house in 1970 and since then he has built many more buildings all from working hard.
Why are they saying a former police are they trying to make the RVIPF look bad look bad look how long he get t...w o.t the f...e for the same damn thing this boy wouldn't stop he's disgusting I hope they find him in one piece still he's still human
Man, the best comments are on Vino. But then again, the best news articles are on Vino.
But yeah, back to the matter at hand and in keeping with the superb comment quality of VINO...."Deeds coastguards need to get deport!"
Where is the stash daddy?
Leh we carry on the legacy. LOL
What do you get from this sentence. We're there several persons on this boat? I am a bit confused with this story.
Lady. I am sorry for you and your children. Unfortunately, I'm going to believe what the authorities report over what you think your husband wasn't involved with. Let this be a lesson to wives to not ignore the obvious just because daddy's paying the bills and the kids are happy. Those children need a daddy at home, same as you need a husband, far more than the material things d..ty money can buy. If you suspect, talk to your spouse. Convince him his life is worth more to you than anything in the world he thinks he can give you.
