The top cop said that her mother had reported her missing at the Constant Spring Police Station, and the police had been investigating the matter, including following some tips received.
“Several lines of inquiry were made, several persons were interviewed, and statements recorded,” DSP Bailey said. Still, he did not reveal whether any suspect had been identified or would be charged.
The cop also revealed that there were several case conferences held, and the investigation into a possible murder was supported by the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) Headquarters in Kingston.

At the time of her disappearance, Medikk was a promising artist with songs like “Boss Level” with Javillani and “Money Feelings.”
