Almost one year after her skeletal remains were found off the Soesdyke/Linden highway, relatives and friends of Alpha hotel owner Roslaine Hall are still awaiting answers about her brutal demise. On January 30, 2007, Hall, the owner of Alpha hotel located on South Road, accompanied by her ex-husband, Alex Barker, visited her hairdresser and was never seen alive again.
According to her close friends, to date, Hall’s remains were never handed over so that she could be given a decent burial. Following the woman’s disappearance, the Guyana Police Force issued a wanted bulletin for Hall’s ex-husband Alex Barker, but they have been unable to locate him.
However, Hall’s husband was taken in for questioning and was subsequently released. Relatives and friends believe that Barker has vital information about Hall’s disappearance and murder, since he reportedly made a call to them indicating where they could find her car, which went missing the day she disappeared.
“After we couldn’t find her nor the car, he (Alex Barker) called and told us where we could find the car. He even told us that he was fleeing the country,” one friend recalled.
The dead woman’s friend is convinced that, throughout the investigation, the police were focusing their attention on the wrong person, which gave the prime suspect time to flee the jurisdiction. Four days after Hall’s disappearance, her husband, Romel Rockefeller, reportedly received a call from the ex-husband, giving information on where her car could be found. It is alleged that Barker also claimed not to know where Hall was, but had suggested that she might have been in neighbouring Suriname, since she had expressed interest in travelling there.
However, on March 13, the skeletal remains of a female, wrapped in a blue tarpaulin, were found in a track leading to the Emerald Tower, off the Soesdyke/Linden highway. Hall’s friends subsequently identified the remains as hers after viewing clothes which were with the body. The remains were also identified by a crooked tooth which was similar to Hall’s. However, a post mortem performed on the remains by Dr. Nehaul Singh was inconclusive. After that autopsy, there was talk of another one to be done by overseas experts, but that never materialized.
In the meantime, friends say, they would be somewhat at ease if the police can give some answers as to the status of the investigation, and if the remains could be handed over to them.
