It has been nearly two weeks since 21-year-old Trinidadian national Thomas Vasquez disappeared without a trace after returning to Antigua to work on a farm in Glanvilles. His mother, Candy Jageshar Vasquez, is growing increasingly desperate for answers as the days pass without any sign of her son.

Thomas arrived in Antigua on April 14 after a short trip to Trinidad, during which he reportedly lost his phone just before returning. His mother explained that this was his third time working in Antigua, where he had previously spent up to six months at a time. Upon arrival, Thomas arranged to be picked up by the man he worked for — identified by Candy only as Solomon.

That night, Thomas stayed with a friend, her husband, and their two children.

“So they picked him up Monday night, knowing he had come back from Trinidad. They went to the farm, picked him up. He stayed the night by them and then they dropped him back at the farm Tuesday morning between 9 and 10. And since then, Thomas has disappeared,” Candy recalled.

“This is very unlikely,” she added. “He’s always letting someone know where he is. Nobody has heard from him since Tuesday the 15th.”

Candy said it was not Solomon who alerted her about Thomas’s disappearance, but rather his friend. Although the police have reportedly been informed, no official statement or public bulletin has been issued about the missing man.

In response, theConcerned Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda are planning a major search effort for Monday, April 28, starting at 9:30 a.m. Volunteers are asked to assemble at the Willikies Police Station at 9:00 a.m.

The group’s president, Dr. Jacqui Quinn, confirmed that they have connected Candy with Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers and pledged their full support.

“Thomas’ mother is distraught and desperate to find her son,” Dr. Quinn said. “We have given her the assurance that all efforts — including those of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda, and civilian volunteers — will be combined to mount a comprehensive search, using drone technology, the K-9 unit, and vehicular and foot patrols.”

Thomas Vasquez was working on a farm operated by the Trinidadian man known only as “Solomon.” His sudden and unexplained disappearance has sparked growing concern among residents, many of whom first learned about the case through social media and local radio, rather than through an official police notice.

Anyone with information about Thomas Vasquez’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Willikies Police Station immediately.
