TWENTY-SIX-old Michael Bansus, of Cummings Lodge, has vanished, for over a month, without a trace, and his family is calling on members of the public to assist them in gathering any information in relation to his whereabouts.

Vianne Bansus, Michael’s cousin, related to the Guyana Chronicle that the last time she heard from him was on September 12, during a video call. She later said that the last time anyone from the family had seen him was on September 22, at the Amerindian Heritage games.

“He was last seen there at Everest ground by some other relatives after 12:00 pm the Sunday night, that was on the 22nd of September, and the Monday he did not report to work, he works at forestry, and the Tuesday and Wednesday he did not turn up either, and his supervisor went to the Sparendaam station to make a report cause he wasn’t able to make any contact with him.”

She further related that upon receiving the report the Police officers accompanied Michael’s supervisor to his home, where they were still unable to locate him but found his passport and other official documents still there. She said this suggested to them that he had not left or he would have taken those documents with him and this made the family fearful that something had happened to him.

Vianne said that she and family hope someone would reach out to them and provide them with some information on the whereabouts of her cousin. She further said that it was the first time he had ever not made contact with anyone in the family.
