The mys­te­ri­ous cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing three miss­ing fish­er­men at sea deep­ens, as one of three has been found alive in Grena­da.

A video post­ed on so­cial me­dia shows a hag­gard look­ing Ron­del Kendall, sit­ting on a bench un­der a tree sur­round­ed by Grena­di­an po­lice of­fi­cers, fish­er­men and vil­lagers. Kendall, who ap­pears to be dis­ori­ent­ed, ema­ci­at­ed and weak, can be heard speak­ing with the Grena­di­an fish­er­men.

In the video, on­look­ers men­tioned the sum of mon­ey car­ried by the fish­er­man. One woman could be heard say­ing, “Is dem alone? ... Dey can’t take the man mon­ey.”

On March 15, rel­a­tives of Re­nal­do Moses, of Carn­bee and Kendall, of Buc­coo, re­port­ed that they left Scar­bor­ough for a fish­ing ex­pe­di­tion two weeks be­fore. The lo­cal fish­er­men were al­so al­leged­ly in the com­pa­ny of a Venezuela na­tion­al.

Of­fi­cials from the To­ba­go Emer­gency Man­age­ment Agency (TEMA) and T&T Coast Guard told To­ba­go To­day they had no re­ports of the non-na­tion­al on board the ves­sel.

How­ev­er, the All To­ba­go Fish­er­folk As­so­ci­a­tion (AT­FA) re­port­ed that the fish­er­men left To­ba­go’s shores with the Venezue­lan man, “and based on their in­ter­ac­tions had known him (non-na­tion­al) well.”

To­ba­go To­day spoke with Kendall’s fa­ther Anselm, who was de­light­ed his son was safe.

“I am so grate­ful, I am hap­py, glad, re­lieved all at once and there was not a day when I didn’t pray for him to re­turn.”

The se­nior Kendall said while he was not able to speak with his son, he un­der­stands he is re­cov­er­ing in a Grena­da hos­pi­tal. To­ba­go To­day un­der­stands Anselm Kendall has since gone to Grena­da to meet his son.

All To­ba­go Fish­er­folk As­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent Ju­nior Quashie con­firmed Kendall was found and is in hos­pi­tal.

A source from the T&T Coast Guard al­so con­firmed the res­cue.

“Mr Kendall was picked up by the Grena­di­an au­thor­i­ties with a large sum of cash. There was no sign of the oth­er fish­er­man or the Venezue­lan who was al­leged­ly in the man’s com­pa­ny. In­ves­ti­ga­tions will con­tin­ue when Mr Kendall re­turns to To­ba­go,” the source said.

The res­cued fish­er­man was ex­pect­ed to re­turn to Trinidad yes­ter­day and re­turn to To­ba­go on Sun­day.
