THE relatives of a man who went missing some two years ago are suspicious that the recent discovery of a male human skeleton on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway could be him. The skeletal remains were discovered Thursday last after an anonymous caller made a report to the police.
The bones were discovered on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, about 400 yards from Splashmins Resort.
A bottle suspected to contain a poisonous substance was found some 40 feet away from the remains. Next to the bottle were cigarettes, a lighter, sneakers, socks and a t-shirt.
Police suspect that the remains are that of a male of Amerindian heritage.
However, based on the photograph published in this newspaper, the relatives of Troy Greenidge, 26, of John Fernandes Housing Scheme, said that the three-quarter black short pants on the skeleton is similar to the one worn by Greenidge.

Seeta Persaud, the mother of Greenidge, told the Guyana Chronicle that her son was last seen wearing the black three-quarter pants, a navy blue jersey and a pair of black and white Nike slippers.
Greenidge, a father of two, went missing on Wednesday, October 15, 2014.
He reportedly left home to collect his salary from his employer at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, but never returned.
A formal missing person’s report was made at the Providence Police Station three days after his disappearance.
In 2014, police scoured an area at Providence, East Bank Demerara, for Greenidge, after receiving reports that he may have been executed and buried there.
However, they came up empty-handed.
That year, Greenidge’s mother had related that she received an anonymous call from a woman who informed her that her son had been beaten to death.
The caller also claimed that the killers had used an excavator to bury her son’s corpse at a Providence location.
Persaud alleged that she immediately made a report at the Providence Police Station, and was told to speak to a senior police officer at the Brickdam Police Station.
Reports revealed that Greenidge’s reputed wife had received a phone call from him. According to reports, Greenidge said that he did not know where he was, but he was “in the trunk of a car.”
That was the last time relatives heard from him.
In 2011, Greenidge and several others were charged with robbing Guyana Stockfeeds Limited employees at gunpoint.
He was also detained by the police in 2012 in the wake of the shooting death by police of Agricola resident Shaquille Grant, since he was a witness in the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into Grant’s murder.
However, relatives are not sure if his disappearance is connected to his testimony. The alleged shooter has been committed to stand trial in the High Court for the Agricola teen’s murder.
