Canadian man missing in JA since Dec. 27, 2013


The other day, I noticed a small ad in the Jamaica Observer: a Canadian man went missing just after Christmas. It seems his family or friends are trying to find him after not hearing anything from him since then. What could have happened to him? The mind can go so many places.

It is coming up on two months now. The Jamaica Star has published a small piece about it. Check it out here. This story seems to have an update from the ad, which listed him as having last been seen at Rick’s Cafe in Negril on Dec. 26. This is a popular place for tourists. This story states that he was last seen in Montego Bay in Rose Heights a day later. This is not an area where most tourists would go. Here is the full story, and the link to the Jamaica Constabulary Force alert:

The police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a Canadian, who has been missing since Friday, December 27, 2013.

He is 43-year-old Gregory Ashodian of Platanes Quebec, Canada. He is Caucasian, slim build, is about 180 centimetres (5 feet 11 inches) tall and has tattoos on his right arm, chest and left calf.

Information received is that Ashodian was last seen about 11:45 a.m., in Rose Heights, Montego Bay, St James. He has not been seen or heard from since. His mode of dress at the time he went missing is unknown.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Gregory Ashodian is being asked to contact the Sangster International Airport police at 952-2241 or 952-6732, police 119 emergency number, or the nearest police station.
