Gilius Springer
A Grand Riviere, Gros Islet man has been missing since Monday, Oct. 6, 2014.
A relative told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that 27-year-old Gilius Springer, also known as Jerry The Pest, left home between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday, a public holiday, and has not been seen or heard from since.
Springer’s aunt, who prefers to use the name “Miss Pamphile”, told SNO this morning that Springer was drinking a lot of alcohol over the weekend. She said he started drinking Saturday night, slept home Sunday night and left home Monday afternoon without saying anything. She said he appeared intoxicated when he left.
Pamphile said Springer did not even eat the lunch she left for him on the weekend or on Monday.
She said contact has been made with everyone who knows Springer, but so far, no luck. She said this is the first time he has been missing from home so long.
“There is a time he doesn’t drink but if he goes out and rink, even if it’s 3 or 4 a clock in the morning he will find his way home,” she said.
“I don’t know what went wrong but I understood he was with some people and these people, they should know about him,” she added.
Pamphile said Springer, her adopted son, used to work in the family’s bakery in Grand Riviere.
