Police investigating "suspicious disappearance" of 63-year-old Errol Whyte in Connecticut

His SUV was found on the shoulder of I-95 Friday. In the vehicle, cops found an empty money bag and his wallet.

www.cbsnews.com

WESTPORT, Conn. -- Stamford Police are investigating what they consider the "suspicious disappearance" of a 63-year-old man.

Police from Stamford and Westport teamed up to search a southbound stretch of I-95, looking for evidence in the disappearance of Errol Whyte.

"No dementia, no medical issues that we know that would cause him to walk away," Stamford Police Capt. Diedrich Hohn said.

Hohn says the stretch between exits 18 and 17 is where a family member located the missing man's SUV on Friday, parked on the shoulder.

Whyte, a native of Jamaica, was last seen on Thursday, Dec. 29, leaving his son's home in Bridgeport.

Cops searched the vehicle and found an empty money bag lying on top of Whyte's wallet.

"A bank money bag like for night deposit drops, that's in there. Two cell phones are in there, and then on top of it, we had his keys, but the key to the car was not in there. The car does look like it was just stopped there, perfectly stopped, and then from there on in, we don't know what happened to him," Hohn said.

Errol Whyte, 63, was last seen on December 29, 2022.


Sixty-three-year-old Errol Whyte of Stamford, Connecticut in the United States has been reported missing since December 31, 2022.

Whyte, who hails from May Pen, Clarendon in Jamaica, was last seen by family members on December 29, 2022 stated local media the Stamford Advocate, citing Stamford Police Capt. Diedrich Hohn.

[...]

The mysterious disappearance of Whyte, popularly called ‘Ming’ back in Jamaica, has left relatives here worried and puzzled.

Whyte, who is now a US citizen, works in the construction industry for a living. He lives with his wife and two children.

Nicardo Whyte, his son, told Connecticut News12 that his dad has no medical issues.

The situation is taking a toll on the family, with Nicardo writing on his personal Facebook account on January 18: “It's been 20 days and still missing, if you (sic) seen this man or know something or anything can help plz don't hesitate to call Stamford PD.”

Nicardo subsequently told Old Harbour News: “Basically he was here at 6:05 pm in Bridgeport up by the house. He left around 6:30 pm and said he’s going home to Stamford. The car was left between exits 18 and 17 on the I-95. That’s around 9:30 pm going southbound on the I-95, like heading to New York. I called his phone around three times the night, left him a voice message; nothing. Then the next day I called the cops. The phone was found in the car and the key and an insert wallet and he was nowhere to be found. The cops went in search for him with dogs and they came up with nothing.”

[...]

His 90-year-old mother, Matilda Whyte, struck an optimistic tone even though the situation makes her worry more with each day that passes.

“I cry, I cry, I don’t want to cry no more,” she said. “Let’s hope we will see him one day. Let’s hope so. It’s hard right now. He’s always calling and checking up on us. We would see him on the phone whenever he doesn’t come down in person. It is a blessing to know that I have a son like ‘Ming’. It’s a blessing to all of us to know that we have someone like him to reason with at any time.”

Errol’s sister, Marlene White, says the elder brother was like a father to the younger siblings.

“‘Ming is my brother and friend. I could share anything and everything with him whether seriously or jokingly. Sometimes I am just sad at just the thought that I might not see him again. I can’t sleep. I have little or no appetite. I am accustomed to him visiting Jamaica and I am so heartbroken right now. Wherever I go I keep wondering what could be the possible cause of his disappearance..."

Whichever pond it is, it's well inside the office park.

I'm thinking he was carjacked elsewhere (see my Jan. 2 post), murdered and dumped in the office park, then the car was driven back east on Greens Farms Rd. to the Sherwood Island Connector and back on 95, and abandoned near the Saugatuck River Bridge to make it look like a suicide from the bridge.
ETA: there are certainly cameras in the park, but whether there is still data after 3 months, or if there is coverage of the pond area, is another matter.

Ruled accidental. Seriously?
https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/westport-stamford-errol-whyte-18121205.php
The death of a 63-year-old Stamford man who went missing late last year and was found dead in a Westport pond in April has been ruled an accident, according to the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Chief Medical Examiner James Gill said Errol Whyte died of drowning.

Westport Lt. Eric Woods said the department is still investigating Whyte's death, "but we do not have any evidence to believe this is anything but an unfortunate accident."
