ST. CROIX — The body of a man who went missing on April 26 was recovered underneath a barge at the Green Cay Marina on the East End on Sunday, V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte has announced.
The man, identified as Jason Parr, was last seen alive at the Deep End Bar at about 10:30 p.m on Thursday, according to Mr. Dratte.
On Friday at approximately 8:00 a.m., the V.I.P.D.’s Criminal Investigation Bureau (C.I.B.) conducted a thorough search of the Green Cay Marina for Mr. Parr. During the search, officers observed signs of decomposition, including an odor emanating from the area of a moored barge.
According to Mr. Dratte, a diver subsequently went into the water and observed a body floating underneath the barge with clothing matching those Mr. Parr was reported to be wearing when he went missing. He was later positively identified by next of kin.
The V.I.P.D. was awaiting the results of an autopsy before it could determine the cause of death, according to Mr. Dratte.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact C.I.B. at 340-778-2211.
