Mother of the missing teen, Tashana Thompson spoke with ZNS News about how she and her two daughters are coping. “My seven year old tell me today say she can’t sleep in the room cause it ain’ safe cause Joey ain’ there. That most take my heart out my body today when she tell me that.”

Thompson also shared her concerns about the police investigation into the whereabouts of her son. “I know the police was lousy and worthless working on my son case because of his age. But like I tell the police if it hit they doorstep they wouldn’t do that cause they’ll shut down the whole country to find they child,” she said.

A prayer vigil was held at the family home off Carmichael Road on Sunday afternoon where family and friends gathered to pray for the safe return of Devin.

The police also issued a Marco Alert concerning Devin on Sunday. Commissioner Fernander said on Monday, “Marco alerts, as you’re aware, is for young children but this individual is sixteen years but we still used our initiative and said we will send it out because that is a missing person, that still is a child. And we had our missing person flyer that was out and I made the decision yesterday evening to send it out through Marco’s Alert.”

Tashana Thompson used the opportunity of media coverage to send a message to her missing son. She said simply, “please come home. We love you and we miss you. You have everybody crying especially Jody.”
