In a heart-wrenching Facebook post filled with grief, love, faith, frustration and urgency, the mother of missing farmer and fitness enthusiast Oreon Gomez renewed her call for answers and justice on the second anniversary of his disappearance, on August 26.

Gomez, then 21, of Morne La Croix, Blanchisseuse, went missing after leaving home to meet a woman he had connected with online. Speaking to Newsday two weeks after his disappearance in 2023, his mother, Sharon Chapman, described the ordeal as a nightmare.

His family became concerned when he failed to return home that evening, and calls to his phone went unanswered. Gomez, who also worked as a tour guide, was expected to lead a hiking group on August 27, 2023. When he did not show up, his relatives reported him missing to the Arima Police Station.
