Family worried as dad with dementia goes missing

Desperate for his safe return, the family of 76-year-old Locksley Davis is offering a $500,000 cash reward to anyone who can help bring him home.

Davis, who is a diabetic, also suffers from dementia and has been missing since October 28. His son, Craig, told THE STAR that his father, who is an avid walker, regularly went for morning walks between 5:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. But, due to his dementia, the family had placed a tracker in his walking shoes to monitor his movements.

However, on the day he went missing, Davis left his home in Patrick City, St Andrew, at his usual time, but the tracker last pinged at Elmwood Drive, nearly two hours away from his home. Since then, there has been no sign of him.

"Most times he would walk from our home in Patrick City to Red Hills or Queens Hill, or sometimes he goes around Chancery Hall and comes back, but it varies depending on how he's feeling. The tracker was in his walking shoes, and it's very concerning because we know he would not remove his shoes until he's by his bedside to push them under the bed," said Craig. He described his father as a neat and habitual individual, emphasising that he has a routine, doing things like tucking his shirt into his shorts and pulling his socks up to just below his knees.

He also told THE STAR that his father's disappearance has devastated his entire family, especially his mother, to whom Davis has been married for 50 years.

"We're not functioning," Craig said. "Not knowing where he is, where he's sleeping, what he's eating, or his condition, especially since he's diabetic. It's been so difficult. But I don't get the feeling that he's dead. I know my father is out there somewhere. So please, if anyone has any information, help us bring him home safely," Craig pleaded.

Davis is of brown complexion, slim build, and stands six feet, two inches tall. He was last seen wearing an orange polo shirt, navy blue pants, and black sneakers.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Locksley Davis is urged to contact the Duhaney Park police at 876-933-4280, the police emergency line at 119, or the nearest police station.
