Detective Inspector Mark Clarke – Today marks one week since Canadian visitor 67 year old William ‘Bill’ Grange went missing in the Cambridge Beaches, Sandys parish area. As part of the ongoing search efforts, the Bermuda Police Service will be coordinating search groups in the western parishes, central parishes and eastern parishes on Saturday, May 10th.

I am encouraging members of the public, particularly community groups including churches, social groups, sporting bodies, boy scouts and girl guides – to name a few – to come out on Saturday and support these search efforts.

Interested community groups are asked to call 247-1776 or e-mail pmr@bps.bm today to indicate the approximate size of their group and which section of the island – west, central or east – they can assist with searching. Other volunteers should assemble at Somerset, Hamilton or St. George’s Police Stations for 8am Saturday.

Members of the Grange family will also form an integral part of this island-wide search for their loved one. ‘Bill’ Grange, who suffers from short term memory loss, was last seen wearing beige pants, a blue shirt, brown jacket and brown shoes. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5'9" tall with white hair and by now likely a few days beard growth.

If someone fitting the description of Mr. Grange is seen, members of the public are urged to engage with the individual and contact police immediately.

In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to commend the efforts of every volunteer searching for ‘Bill’ Grange and urge residents who have security cameras to check any recorded footage they may have since Saturday, May 3rd which might have captured images of Mr. Grange.

Any person who believes that they have footage showing 67 year old William ‘Bill’ Grange should immediately call 295-0011, 717-0282 or e-mail mclarke@bps.bm.

Finally, anyone who may have seen or who may have any information on the whereabouts of missing 67 year old Canadian visitor Mr. William ‘Bill’ Grange is urged to contact the main police telephone number 295-0011 immediately, reporting all relevant information.
