Police investigate potential tragedy amidst allegations of violent yacht theft in the Caribbean

In a chilling turn of events, the disappearance of Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel has sparked grave concerns as authorities investigate the possibility of foul play following the alleged theft of their yacht by three escaped prisoners in the Caribbean.

Hendry and Brandel, seasoned sailors from Virginia, were last seen docked in the waters of Grenada aboard their yacht, Simplicity. Known for their adventurous spirit, the couple frequently embarked on sailing journeys across America and the Caribbean during the winter months.

However, their idyllic voyage took a sinister turn when their yacht was reportedly stolen by three fugitives—Ron Mitchell, Trevon Robertson, and Abita Stanislaus—who had recently escaped from custody in South St. George, Grenada.

The trio’s audacious escape and alleged involvement in violent crimes prior to their flight heightened concerns about the safety of Hendry and Brandel, who have not been seen since February 18th.

Amidst the search for the missing couple, a startling discovery was made when a concerned citizen stumbled upon their abandoned yacht on a nearby beach. Tragically, evidence suggesting potential violence aboard the vessel has intensified fears for the couple’s well-being.

In a coordinated effort to unravel the mystery, authorities from the Royal Grenada Police Force have launched a comprehensive investigation, collaborating with law enforcement agencies across the region to track down the fugitives and ascertain the fate of the missing couple.

While initial findings hint at a grim outcome, family members of Hendry and Brandel remain hopeful, clinging to the belief that their loved ones may yet be found alive.

As the investigation unfolds, the Caribbean community awaits answers, hoping for a resolution to this perplexing and distressing ordeal.
