MONTEGO BAY, St James — A team of experienced investigators assigned to the Montego Bay branch of the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) was up to late last evening questioning persons of interest in the disappearance of 39-year-old Michelle Coudray-Greaves of Circular Road, St Madeline, San Fernando, Trinidad.

“Persons of interest are being interviewed and statements are being collected,” Deputy Superintendent of Police Derrick Champagnie, head of the St James CIB, told the Jamaica Observer.

Coudray-Greaves is the daughter of Marlene Coudray, mayor of San Fernando, Trinidad.

The missing woman is of slim build, of dark complexion and about 160 centimetres (five feet three inches) tall. She wears braces on her upper and lower teeth.

She was last seen clad in a pair of blue jeans and a long-sleeved top about 12:30 am on June 2.

Meanwhile, as the investigators continue to work feverishly in their probe for the missing teacher, DSP Champagnie has appealed to persons who have information on her disappearance to share their knowledge with the police.

“We are appealing to persons who would have been close to her and persons who can assist with the investigation in how and by what means she went missing to come [and] provide the police with any information which might assist in the investigation,” he pleaded.

Coudray-Greaves’ mother is expected to arrive in the island from Trinidad today to assist the police in their investigations.

Denham McIntyre, principal of Cornwall College where Coudray-Greaves was employed as a temporary Spanish teacher from January to April this year, described the missing woman as “dedicated, dependable, co-operative, committed, and a true professional teacher.

“She was a very dutiful teacher, quite pleasant; had a very good relationship with her students and colleagues and in fact the entire school administration,” he said.

McIntyre said that during her brief stint at the all-boys institution, the students learnt a lot from her as she did a commendable job.

“In fact, we were very sorry that we were unable to keep her longer than that, but just recently we received an application from her for a two-year stint, starting September of this year, and based on her performance during the four months she taught here, I would have certainly made recommendations to the board for her to be re-employed,” the Cornwall College principal explained.

Last night, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a release that it was working in close collaboration with both the Jamaican High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago and its counterpart in Kingston, as it relates to the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Coudray-Greaves.

Meanwhile, as investigators prepare for the visit of Mayor Coudray, police were still trying to determine the identity of the body which was discovered in a canefield in Montego Bay on Monday.

The burnt body was stumbled upon by two cane cutters. There was speculation that it could be that of the missing Trinidadian, but the police said it was burnt beyond recognition and could not even identify the sex of the corpse.
