POLICE have reportedly intensified their investigation into a case involving a missing Prospect East Bank Demerara (EBD) mother of one close to two years since she has disappeared.

Missing is 37-year-old Shawnette Savory called “Shonette”. The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that a former boyfriend is now in police custody assisting with the investigation. Reports have also indicated that police investigators have been frequenting the former residence of Savory at Lot 222 Last Street, Prospect, East Bank Demerara in recent days.

Last Wednesday and Friday, investigators visited that residence as they searched for clues and on Monday April 23, 2018, the police accompanied by the former boyfriend visited his Lot 186 Fourth Street, Prospect, EDB residence. During that visit, at least six holes were dug, reportedly in search of the mother of one. On Tuesday, ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) revisited the residence of Savory’s former boyfriend.
The boyfriend lives at the Fourth Street, Prospect residence with his mother and sister. However, the two relocated after police visited the premises. When the Guyana Chronicle visited the former boyfriend’s residence, it was clear that no one was at home in the building which seems to have been newly constructed or rehabilitated. In the yard, six deep holes were visible three at the back of the house, and two on one side, and another on the opposite side. On August 29, 2016, Savory went missing from her Lot 222, Last Street, Prospect residence. She is the mother of a 20-year-old who resides in the US.
