Police Need Your Help To Find Missing 15-Year-Old Kidany Camacho On St. Thomas

CHARLOTTE AMALIE —  Police need your help today to find a missing teen on St. Thomas.

Kidany Camacho, 15, of Lindbergh Bay, was last seen on St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands Police Department said, without stating where or when he was last seen.

Camacho is a Black male with a light complexion who stands 6-foot,0-inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds.

Police did allow that the “minor hangs out in Kirwan Terrance housing community.”

The always spelling-challenged VIPD incorrectly spelled Kirwan Terrace as “Kerwin Terrace” twice in one post on Facebook.

VY Maps also spelled Michael J. Kirwan Terrace wrong and Lindbergh Bay wrong.

UPDATE: VIPD Communications Director Glen Dratte said at 9:37 p.m. on Saturday (April 2) that Kidany had been found safe and sound.

If seen notify immediately notify the police at 340-774-2211, 340-715-5540, 340-715-5540 or call 911.

John F. McCarthy is a veteran journalist in the Caribbean, writing from the "Decision Space" where survival meets the surreal. His reporting steel was tempered by a lineage of legendary editors and broadcasters, including Ed Wynn Brant (The Bomb), Owen Eschenroder (Ann Arbor News), Lynelle Emanuel (BVI Beacon), and Charles Thanas (WSVI-TV). Alongside longtime colleague Kenneth C. "Casey" Clark, McCarthy has navigated the front lines of the territory’s history—from the 1997 volcanic "snow" to every major hurricane since Hugo. Known for leaning out of doorless helicopters to capture the "money shot," McCarthy now edits the V.I. Free Press, providing the essential link between the island's colonial past and its SpaceX future.
