According to Police Superintendent Glen Miller, in 397 of the cases, the persons were found to be safe, while three turned out to be homicide victims.<\/p>\n
This leaves seven matters under investigation. That list includes Eddison Bowles, who was reported missing August 19, 2005.<\/p>\n
Police said Bobby Joseph and Mark Forbes also appear on that list after disappearing in Grand Bahama on August 24, 2005. <\/p>\n
Only a few days earlier on August 19, Deveron Edgecombe and Deangelo Cooper were reported missing from the Grand Bahama area.<\/p>\n
Back on April 21, 2005, Andrew Sands also went missing, according to police.<\/p>\n
One of the more publicized disappearances of 2005 was that of Eleuthera businessman, Dwight Johnson, 44, on September 1, 2005.<\/p>\n
Several hours after Johnson’s wife reported him missing, officers discovered his F350 bloodstained truck in bushes just off the Workers House complex in Governor’s Harbour.<\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson is the owner of the Quality Inn Citagoo Resort and the Buccaneer Club Hotel & Restaurant, both located in Governor’s Harbour. <\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson also reportedly owns a number of winter residences on the island. He is the father of three children – a boy and two girls.<\/p>\n
A team of New Providence officers had combed Governor’s Harbour and extended areas.<\/p>\n
“We have been getting conflicting reports on whether he is alive. But we are certainly taking a very serious approach to this matter as if something happened to him,” Superintendent Miller told the Bahama Journal. <\/p>\n
“If there is anyone out there with information as to his whereabouts, we are making a public appeal at this time for them to come forward. If he is alive we want to know. But our investigations thus far is that something actually happened to him.” <\/p>\n
