One week after Shenett Jacobs was last seen in the coastal regions of Brown’s Bay and Nonsuch Bay, a coordinated large-scale search operation involving multiple official agencies and community volunteers kicked off on a new afternoon push to locate the missing woman.
Search teams have scheduled a 2 p.m. assembly at the point where Monday’s search efforts wrapped up, before fanning out to comb a wider expanse of the surrounding landscape and coastal areas. The operation brings together a diverse network of search participants: specialized units from the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda, including the force’s K-9 unit and drone team, are joined by the drone division of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force. Beyond official search personnel, community organization Concerned Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda has mobilized support, alongside Jacobs’ own family members, close friends, and dozens of civilian volunteers who have stepped forward to help with the search effort.
Jacobs was first reported missing after she was last spotted in the Brown’s Bay-Nonsuch Bay corridor on Saturday, July 25. Multiple search operations have already been carried out over the past seven days, and public appeals for any relevant tips or sightings have remained ongoing throughout that period.
Authorities have released a detailed description to help the public identify Jacobs: she stands roughly 5 feet 4 inches tall, has a brown complexion, and hair that mixes black and grey strands. When she was last seen, she was wearing a yellow construction hard hat, a long-sleeved grey shirt, dark green work trousers, and a pair of grey Converse sneakers.
Officials are urging the general public to stay alert for any signs of Jacobs, especially for residents who live in the Brown’s Bay and Nonsuch Bay area, workers who operate in the region, and travelers passing through the vicinity.
Any person who may have spotted Jacobs since her disappearance, or who holds any small detail of information that could advance the search, is asked to reach out through one of several official contact channels. Tips can be shared directly with Jacobs’ daughter at 729-2443, to leaders of Concerned Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda at 764-1451 or 725-2270, or to staff at the closest local police station.
This latest search operation represents a renewed, coordinated effort to thoroughly re-examine the search area and uncover new clues that could finally lead to answers about Jacobs’ current whereabouts.
