Even as Ann Nevers prepares to bury her only son, 23-year-old David Nevers, she is worried and confused about the status of one of her four daughters who disappeared five years ago.
Kerriann Nevers left for school on February 5, 2010 and has never returned home. Ms Nevers says she has no idea where her daughter lives and it still pains her that she has not returned home. She doesn’t even like to think what might have happened but she believes her daughter is alive.
The family now lives in Steer Town, St Ann but at the time they lived in north Clarendon. Kerriann, then a big 13-year-old, dressed in her uniform, left for Spalding High School and a family member was told later that day to go pick up her uniform at the home of a woman in the area. They did but there was no Kerriann. It seems she had taken clothes to change into. Ms Nevers says she has had reports of people having seen her daughter as far away as Negril. One of the missing girl’s sisters said she had received calls from Kerriann from private or unlisted numbers, for sometime but her sister never told her where she was. The calls have ceased, for some time now.
They said they had put up pictures of her and made several enquires and also reported the matter to the police but nothing has happened.
“I only wish she would come to the funeral of her brother,” said Ms Nevers. “Kerriann, if you are out there come to your brother’s funeral. I will be looking out for you.”
