Family Fears Missing Man Was Killed By Friends
posted (April 23, 2024)
The last time the family of Albert "Powpow" Robinson heard from him was on March 25th, when he told them he was heading out to Tobacco Caye, where he usually fishes. He was supposed to be picked up by two of his friends that he often works with - men he has known his entire life. However, now his family feels they were responsible for his disappearance.

According to his aunt, on April 8th a relative of one of the men called Robinson's mother and told her that they had a message for her: "go look fih yuh son."

That raised alarm bells, and now the family is begging anyone with information to tell them so they can find Robinson, whether alive or dead. His aunt spoke with us today.

"That is when we drew our suspicions and we started inquiring so we made a post about if anybody see the whereabouts of Powpow in the southern area. Nobody has reached out and said that they've seen him anywhere. Only a lady commented and stated that she saw Powpow Thursday, this Thursday that just went. He came in Dangriga to sell conch and fish, and he told him when he finished selling his conch and fish that he would go back to Tobacco Caye with the said person that I stated earlier. It seems that he didn't reach the caye and I don't know if **omitted** or **omitted** probably picked him up someone in the Dangriga area before he reached the riverside and took him to the caye but at this point we don't have any information as to where he is or what colored clothes he was also seen in but the whole suspicion is drawn to Mr **omitted** and his son and their colleagues because they're the only people he associates himself in Dangriga with. So we're just asking them or the public in Dangriga, anybody that has any information about his whereabouts or so if they could just contact any one of us, my number is 601-5119, his mom's number is 627-3650. And we will be free to assist them because I mean it's a long time ago and it's sad, I feel hurt because this is somebody, their mom raised me and this young man, for her to raise him too and he turned around and do something like this just so heartless so we're just devastated at this time so we just ask anybody if they have any information of his whereabouts to just contact one of us. If they don't want to put their number, they could call private or if they want to make a fake profile and message us, we will feel free to reply back and go and search the area because at this time we don't have any kind of clues where he is."

"It's sad because drug involved because this is something that they found some drugs a long time too, they owed him some money and he went back to the island, they didn't like how he kept to himself and probably just selling his weed and not really interacting with them or beg them for nothing so it's like they're his friend but they were low-key hating on him."

Again those numbers are 601-5119 and 627-3650.
