[dropcap]O[/dropcap]verseas friends of Roy Boughton, about whose disappearance I wrote last Saturday, are expressing concern for the 72-year-old who was last seen leaving the Rodney Bay Marina dock in a dinghy, en route to his yacht, on the night of November 15. One of his longtime friends, currently resident in Cyprus, is especially troubled by the apparent lack of interest by the police, pointing out that they have not circulated any related missing person notices. “Lackadaisical” was the friend’s word for the police’s attitude. When this reporter questioned the police about the notices, a press representative chalked it to there being nothing to put out.
While there has been talk about Boughton being helped into his dingy after several hours at a marina bar, this has not been confirmed. The STAR has received no word from Boughton’s relatives, reportedly living in the UK. If you know of something you would like to tell the STAR, give us a call at 450 7827 or email news@stluciastar.com.
