Yuh a earn some stripes in the early mawning. There are significant numbers of people who mysteriously disappear every year. Obviously not all were homicides, and it would be informative fi see an estimate.

There are over 500 children 'MISSING' from Jamaica!!! That's a stats that need to drop drastically!!!

That is a frightening stat in itself that I was not aware of until very recently.

I have a strong feeling that a large number of those are victims of child molestors.

There are a hundreds of adults who disappear every year and the number of murders is likely an under-count.
