Hide AdA family source in Westmoreland said: "This is not the news we wanted to hear especially coming up to Christmas. We were hoping that she would be found as she has been missing for a week now. Dawn was such a lovely lady who helped everyone out.”


It is understood that Andre contacted his wife's daughters in the United Kingdom, telling them that their mum had disappeared after he dropped her off at a beach park in Negril to meet a client, but that when he returned to pick her up, she was gone. Westmoreland Police Division, Superintendent Othneil Dobson, told The Jamaica Gleaner that a missing person report was filed for Anderson at the Whithorn Police Station on November 27 by her sister.
He said the police are continuing their investigation. He added that they are searching for Morrison, the last person seen with Dawn.
