Law enforcement authorities in Barbados are turning to the community for help in tracing a missing teenager who has not been seen for nearly a week. Kemera Murray, a 13-year-old resident of Blackman Field in The Pine, St Michael, was last reported seen on Monday, June 29, and has not made contact with family or friends since that date.
Authorities have released a detailed description of the missing teen to help members of the public identify her. Standing approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall with a slim build and dark complexion, Kemera was last spotted wearing a distinctive blue crew-neck T-shirt printed with a bear graphic on the front, paired with dark blue cargo shorts and brown-and-gold slide sandals. Police also confirmed that the teenager is known to regularly visit two areas in the neighboring parish of Christ Church: the coastal district of Oistins and the residential neighborhood of Sayers Court.
In their official public appeal, law enforcement officials are urging any resident or visitor who may have seen Kemera since June 29, or who holds any information that could lead to her safe location, to contact authorities immediately. Multiple tip lines have been opened to accept information: the main District ‘A’ Police Station can be reached at 430-7242 or 430-7246, the 24/7 national police emergency line is available at 211, anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477, and information can also be provided in person at any local police station across the island.
