them, they will never call me. I think that they don’t care, and I strongly believe that,” she said.

However, Area One crime officer Senior Superinten­dent Michael Phipps said that they have been communicat­ing with Gibbon. However, he said that they cannot divulge much informatio­n about the case to her.

ADVANCE STAGE

“We are doing a whole lot of work, and we are working with internatio­nal partners. We try to update her mother who I think has called on a number of occasions, but the investigat­ion is at a point where we don’t want to discuss what we are doing. We are at an advanced stage of our investigat­ion. However, there are some things we cannot discuss, and I believe that is where the problem lies,” he said.

Gibbon said that she is desperatel­y in need of answers because her daughter was a regular visitor to the island, and she is not sure why someone would want to kill her first born.

Meanwhile, Brunner told THE STAR that they also contacted the US Embassy in Kingston because they were simply trying to get some informatio­n.

“Even they [the embassy] are saying that the authoritie­s there are not releasing any informatio­n to them,” she said.

“It’s frustratin­g for all of us, and at this point we don’t know what to do. We can’t do anything to help,” she added.

Phipps, however, insists that they are always in dialogue with Gibbon.

“We have liaison persons at the US Embassy that are in contact with her, and she has the number of all the members of the investigat­ing team, including myself who is supervisin­g the investigat­ion,” he said.
