It has been five days since 16-year-old Jellon John went missing from his home in Kuru Kururu, and his family remains distraught as there is still no sign of the teenager.
Despite continued efforts by the police and the community, his whereabouts remain unknown.Jellon’s father, Quancy John, 44, is desperately pleading for assistance in locating his son.
Jellon was last seen on the morning of January 8, 2025, before Quancy left for work at around 8:00 am. The teenager, who was supposed to be preparing for school at Friendship Secondary on the East Bank of Demerara, was discovered missing later that day when his stepmother checked his room.
Quancy, who described his son as a quiet and introverted child, expressed that there was no argument or conflict before Jellon disappeared. Although Quancy had taken Jellon’s phone that morning, he emphasized that there were no signs of tension or dispute.
The family filed a report at the Kuru Kururu Police Outpost on the same day, and law enforcement has been disseminating information to aid in the search. However, despite their efforts and community outreach, Jellon remains missing.
Quancy John continues to appeal to the public for assistance. “We are heartbroken and just want Jellon to come home safely. If anyone knows anything, no matter how small, please let us know,” he said.
Anyone with information on Jellon’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Kuru Kururu Police Outpost or reach Quancy John directly at +592 650-7841.
The family remains hopeful and is relying on the community’s support to help reunite them with Jellon. In the meantime, their concern for his safety grows with each passing day.
