The family and lawyer of a Trinidadian fisherman, detained in Venezuela since June, are appealing for help to determine his whereabouts and legal status.

Rex James, 39, of Bamboo Village in Cedros, went fishing alone on June 23 aboard his pirogue, Josie. James, a former offshore worker, had been laid off during the pandemic.

When he failed to return home and could not be reached, a relative filed a missing person report at the Cedros police station on June 24. Cpl Ramroop was assigned to investigate.
