UPDATE: Police encouraged by support in locating 12 year old girl
While investigators are not in a position to comment on the investigation, the feedback from the public has been positive and Police are actively following the lines of inquiry. However, she still has not been found.
Deputy Commissioner Alwin James shared his gratitude for the public’s support and their understanding while investigation continues into the matter.
“While we are doing everything possible for the safe return of Siriena, she is a minor and understandably neither the details of her relationships, nor the conditions that may have led to her absence can be shared by the RVIPF,” he noted.
On Monday, 13 January 2014, 12-year-old Siriena Wharton, who resides in Old Plantation, was reported missing. Police were informed then that she was last seen on Thursday, 12 December 2013. A missing person enquiry was started by the Major Crime Team who is continuing to follow lines of inquiries here in the Territory and USVI.
Siriena is a student of the Joyce Samuel Primary School and has a wide circle of friends and relatives across Tortola and St. Thomas, USVI.
Persons who may have seen Siriena after 12 December 2013 or have information about her present whereabouts are requested to make contact with the RVIPF through its three-digit access number 311 or through the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 468-9339.
