Extensive Interagency Search Underway for Missing Person on Nevis

The disappearance of Mr. Trivon Rogers from Pot Works, Nevis, prompted a large-scale search operation on Saturday, May 24, 2025, spearheaded by the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, Nevis Division. This collaborative effort involved multiple agencies, including the St. Kitts-Nevis Fire and Rescue Services, the St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force, and the Nevis Disaster Management Department. The search, a critical part of the ongoing investigation, aimed to locate Mr. Rogers, who was last seen a week prior on May 17, 2025, in the Westbury and Fountain area. The operation underscored the commitment of these agencies to community safety and their dedication to bringing closure to Mr. Rogers’ worried family and friends.

The search operation, led by Inspector Charles and supported by several senior officers from the participating agencies, was comprehensive and meticulous. Teams navigated challenging terrains, including ghauts, steep banks, hidden caves, and dense vegetation. The search area encompassed a significant portion of the island, focusing on Westbury, Fountain, Spring Hill, Hog Valley, Shaw’s Road, and Garners – areas in proximity to where Mr. Rogers was last seen. Recognizing the possibility of Mr. Rogers seeking shelter, the team also meticulously searched several abandoned properties within these areas. This methodical approach demonstrated the thoroughness of the investigation and the determination to explore all possible leads.

The search was not solely a professional endeavor; it was a deeply personal mission for many involved. Family members and friends of Mr. Rogers actively participated in the search, driven by their concern and hope of finding him. Their presence not only added manpower but also brought a crucial emotional element to the operation, highlighting the human impact of Mr. Rogers’ disappearance and the collective desire for his safe return. This community involvement reinforced the collaborative spirit of the search and the shared commitment to finding Mr. Rogers.

Leveraging modern technology, the search teams deployed drones to expand the scope of the operation and cover otherwise inaccessible areas. Corporal Wallace and Constable Ali expertly operated the drones, providing an aerial perspective of the search zones. The use of drone technology maximized search efficiency, allowing teams to cover a wider area in a shorter timeframe. This technological advantage proved invaluable in the challenging terrain and highlighted the commitment to using all available resources to locate the missing individual.

In addition to the extensive physical search, the operation also included house-to-house inquiries. Officers systematically canvassed the areas surrounding where Mr. Rogers was last seen, speaking with residents and gathering any information, however seemingly insignificant, that could contribute to the investigation. This direct engagement with the community aimed to uncover potential witnesses or any clues that might have been overlooked during the physical search. The house-to-house inquiries emphasized the importance of community involvement and the potential for even the smallest details to provide a breakthrough in the case.

Despite the extensive and multifaceted nature of the search operation, which spanned from 6:21 a.m. to 11:14 a.m., Mr. Rogers remained unfound. While the outcome was undoubtedly disappointing for all involved, especially for his family and friends, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force remains steadfast in its commitment to the investigation. They have assured the public that the search will continue and that they will relentlessly pursue all leads in their efforts to provide answers and bring closure to Mr. Rogers’ family. The police also appealed to the public, urging anyone with any information, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, to contact the nearest police station. This ongoing commitment emphasizes that the case remains a priority and that all avenues will be explored until Mr. Rogers is located.
