Relatives of Shawnette Savory, 37, believe that something sinister has happened to her following her disappearance more than three weeks ago.They have contended that it is unlikely that Savory, a mother of one, would have left home and not returned.

The missing woman was last seen on August 30, 2016 when she left her Lot 222 Last Street, Prospect, East Bank Demerara home.

A check at her rented apartment saw everything intact, including her cell phone charger, passport and other documents.

The woman’s aunt,Ruby Ramcharran,said her niece is a very reserved individual and rarely spoke about her problems with anyone.

She related that two weeks after Savory went missing, a woman telephoned her to say that she saw her photo and story in the newspapers and she believes that it was the same woman she observed heading to the interior.

The caller stated that she believes that Savory is being held against her will and was forcibly taken away.

The missing woman works part-time at a toilet paper factory at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, and has an 18-year-old daughter who resides with her father overseas.

Calls to Savory’s cell phone are forwarded to voicemail. Relatives told the Guyana Chronicle that they are hopeful she will return and are praying for such.

Anyone with information as it regards to Savory’s whereabouts are asked to contact relatives on 233-3699, 689-0171 or 654-1536.
