A mother is tonight breathing a sigh of relief. This after her son, 15-year-old Cheston Collis who was missing for several days, was found late this evening. Lashandy Studor, was too overwhelmed to speak to the media at the scene this evening. However earlier today, Ms. Studor met with CBC News at Rices, St. Philip where the search continued for her son who was reported missing on Friday night. At the time she made an impassioned plea for her son to return home. However, some hours later she made contact with CBC News screaming “we find him!”. She only managed to say that Cheston was found at his Diamond Valley, St. Philip home in the gallery of a vacant upstairs apartment. Cheston’s guardian Beresford Hunte declined to speak and directed all comments to Ms. Studor. Medical personnel tended to Cheston at the scene, but he has been taken to seek further medical treatment.
