Crime Stop offers reward for missing photographer

Cash reward totalling $500,000 is being offered by Crime Stop Jamaica for any information that leads to the safe return of 37-year-old popular photographer Niketa Thomas and his cousin Dwight Brown, 42.

Both men were last seen on October 5 in Cassia Park, St Andrew.

Crime Stop is appealing to anyone with information to assist the family of these two missing persons to find their loved ones. Persons are urged to call Crime Stop at 311 or toll free at 1-888-991-4000. Full confidentiality will be maintained.

It has been weeks since both men have been missing, and the police have yet to find any strong leads.

Brother of the missing photographer, Everton Thomas, has since made heartfelt posts to his personal Facebook page. In one such post, Thomas wrote "It's been very hard on the family amid all the distractions and all the investigations taking place", adding that "His son, his mom, everybody are all hurting". Thomas concluded the post by requesting "a timely positive end [to] this situation".

The family of both men remain optimistic that they will return safe and sound.
