Winston Watson knows the communities between Negril, Westmoreland, and Montego Bay, St James, better than he ever wanted to.

For more than two weeks, he and his relatives have criss-crossed western Jamaica chasing reported sightings of his missing father, Winston Watson Sr – a retired tour bus driver with dementia who disappeared from his Hanover home and has not been seen by his family since.

From Fairview in Montego Bay to trodding through bushes across Westmoreland and Hanover, Watson has followed every lead, pinned up flyers, questioned strangers, and pursued reports that seemed to place the 74-year-old in a different parish almost every day.
