Corozal man missing following Hurricane Dean

Most of the damage from Hurricane Dean has been repaired but today we learned of one casualty that has yet to be dealt with. It involves fifty-three year old Alfred White senior, a resident of Corozal who, in the wake of the storm, could not cope with his new situation. The mental patient has been missing since early October and his son-in-law, Anthony Espinoza, is hoping that News Five viewers can help find him.

He was renting an apartment and the apartment was too small and it started to bother him because he like his space. Weh pah he live they have—only he live ova that area weh pa he live.
