(Wednesday, November 20th, 2024) Turks and Caicos Islands – It happened on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 around midnight. A wife waiting on her husband to come pick her up from work, reports that he never showed up.

She became very concerned when she was calling his cell phone, and he wasn’t answering. She explained that she called the police on 911 and made the report.

When she contacted other family and friends of the family, they told her that her husband had left in his blue Honda Fit car around 6 that evening and hadn’t been seen since.

The husband never made it home that night, and the wife and other concerned loved ones say they couldn’t sleep and sat up awaiting his return home.

The following day, Wednesday, November 13, the husband was found by police at the Cheshire Hall Medical Center undergoing medical treatment. Everyone would soon learn that the traumatic events of the night before deeply distressing; the man was admitted to hospital with inordinately high pressure

He told hospital staff and law enforcement that he went to Dock Yard and dropped off two of his Haitian workers who worked construction with him at the Palms. The male victim said, upon leaving, he was stopped and pulled from his car by three armed men.

One of the men took the driver’s seat while the others cloaked his head and tied him up. He said they drove off and dumped him in the bushes; he’d find he was in an area known as Yard.

He said the three masked men drove off without physically harming him ( thanks be to God ) with his car, wallet, and lots of his expensive electrical and other work tools in the car. He said he was able to bite loose the ties and ran discreetly asking for a ride to the hospital because he was feeling extremely sick, dizzy, and weak.

Up to press time, Eagle Legal News still has not received information on this frightening report.
