A heartbreaking turn in the search for Moises Garbutt, the Roaring Creek resident who vanished three days ago. Police now believe a body found off the George Price Highway on Tuesday may be his. Garbutt was last seen on the night of May eleventh, the eve of his birthday, after attending a party in his village. Witnesses say he left the event in a vehicle with three other people and then disappeared without a trace. Today, Assistant Commissioner of Police Hilberto Romero told reporters that while the body has not yet been officially identified, investigators strongly suspect it is Garbutt. Confirmation is expected following a postmortem examination.
