Please send my daughter home for her birthday

- SIMONE MORGAN-LINDO STAR Writer

Not a lover of parties and hype celebratio­ns, Tiffany Murray would normally pack up her nieces and head to the river or beach on her birthday for a day of relaxation or fun.

But this Friday will be quite the opposite. Murray, who turns 28 this Friday, disappeare­d without a trace on March 20 after she left her St Mary home to go job hunting in St James.

Her mother Annette Murray said she is heartbroke­n that she will not get a chance to offer her daughter best wishes and is still pleading for her safe return.

“This is so sad. She is not a rude girl who would run off with anyone ... it is hard. Her nieces and nephews are traumatise­d because she is a good aunt to those children. We would really want to spend her birthday with her so please I am begging you to just leave her somewhere so we can get her. She is a good young lady and she doesn’t deserve this ... please I am begging you to just let my daughter go,” she pleaded..

Murray said her blood pressure keeps elevating because Tiffany is on her mind.

“It bother me bad because mi miss my daughter. It bother mi every day especially when I see her empty room. I am not hearing anything at all about her. There are no clues or anything,” she said.

Like the rest of her family, Murray remains optimistic that Tiffany is alive, and is possibly being held hostage somewhere in Jamaica.

She continues to plead with her daughter’s captors to release her

“Unuh please just leg her go now man. I’m sure there are other persons children there as well. Unuh just send them home. Remember we are all humans and when you take away our children, you are breaking our family apart,” she said.

Tiffany’s family is offering a reward for her safe return. Her sister, Alicia Murray, said they have decided to increase the reward from $1 million to $2 million with hopes that credible informatio­n will be forthcomin­g.
