Police and officials of the Ogle Airport and Air Services Limited were up to late last night trying to ascertain the whereabouts of a passenger who disappeared after touring the Kaieteur Falls yesterday.
This newspaper was reliably informed that the Air Services Limited aircraft returned yesterday with one fewer person than it transported to the world famous waterfalls.
A source at the Ogle Airport told this newspaper last night that the aircraft left the city around midday with nine passengers for a tour of the Kaieteur Falls.
Among them was a female environmental doctor who was scheduled to leave for Miami today.
People on the flight said that the woman was seen crying into a phone while on the plane.
When the aircraft landed at the falls the woman appeared to brighten.
Air Services Limited transported two groups of tourists to the Kaieteur Falls. A spokesperson said that while the pilots were on the ground no other aircraft landed or left. This meant that the woman could not have left the area by mistake.
The woman was discovered missing when the tour guide was distributing chits to the passengers for snacks, at the Kaieteur airstrip before they boarded the aircraft back to Ogle.
One of her colleagues on the trip said that the missing woman was with the party when it was returning along the trail from the falls
