  • Four Minute Window: The Death of Adrianna Younge

    Four Minute Window: The Death of Adrianna Younge
    Aug 14 2025
    An afternoon by the pool in the Caribbean heat was supposed to be fun and relaxing. Instead, it became every family’s worst nightmare.On April 23, 2025, 11-year-old Adrianna Younge vanished at a popular hotel in Guyana. Within minutes, she was gone—no alarms, no witnesses, no clear answers. Nearly 20 hours later, her lifeless body was found in the very pool police had already searched.Authorities called it a tragic drowning. But conflicting statements, missing CCTV footage, and a history of safety failures left the community asking: What really happened to Adrianna?In this episode of Cries from the Caribbean, we piece together the final hours of her life, examine the investigation’s shortcomings, and ask the questions no one in power seems willing to answer. Because when safety systems fail or are nonexistent to begin with, the consequences are irreversible.PayPal - https://paypal.me/criesfromthecarib?country.x=CA&locale.x=en_USInstagram - @criesfromthecaribbeanFacebook - Cries From the Caribbean PodcastYoutube-https://www.youtube.com/@CriesfromtheCaribbeanhttps://www.facebook.com/MinistryOfEducationGuyana/posts/press-release-ministry-of-education-responds-to-political-candidatejuly-15-2025-/1065846109022584/https://guyanabusinessjournal.com/2025/04/adrianna-younges-death-demands-transparent-answers-and-independent-justice/https://thecaribbeancamera.com/adrianna-younges-death-highlights-guyanas-law-enforcement-crisis/https://guyanabusinessjournal.com/2025/05/the-search-for-truth-in-the-death-of-adrianna-younge/https://inewsguyana.com/thousands-bid-farewell-to-adrianna-younge-2-months-after-death/https://demerarawaves.com/2025/05/08/guyana-police-force-finally-breaks-silence-on-adriana-younges-post-mortem/https://guyanachronicle.com/2025/05/05/funeral-for-11-year-old-adriana-younge-set-for-today/https://spectrummagazine.org/news/death-of-11-year-in-guyana-prompts-outcry-and-calls-for-justice/https://inewsguyana.com/2012-double-d-hotel-murder-owners-son-worker-arraigned/https://inewsguyana.com/2-expected-to-be-charged-today-for-double-day-hotel-murder/https://inewsguyana.com/this-time-i-hope-and-pray-that-justice-is-served-sadeek-jumans-mother-as-familys-grief-resurfaces-13-years-later/https://guyanachronicle.com/2016/12/02/hotel-manager-employee-charged-with-2012-murder/https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2016/09/11/the-invisible-drowning-man/https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/adrianna-younge-update-what-know-about-owners-double-day-hotel-1733178https://www.stabroeknews.com/2017/08/03/news/guyana/duo-freed-over-double-day-hotel-murder-charge/https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2012/11/20/young-mechanic-found-dead-in-hotel-pool/https://inewsguyana.com/2nd-autopsy-confirms-no-trauma-to-adriana-younges-body-1st-autopsy-was-thorough-chief-medical-examiner/https://www.cbc.bb/news/caribbean-news/family-wants-fbi-to-investigate-adrianna-younges-death/#google_vignettehttps://www.jamaicaobserver.com/2025/05/18/adrianna-younge-honoured-posthumously-guyana-independence-celebrations-ny/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcPk9-UNHOk

  • A Father's Fight

    A Father's Fight
    Jul 31 2025
    In this week’s episode of Cries from the Caribbean, we head to the quiet farming community of Gravel Hill, Clarendon, where a determined father refused to wait for answers after his daughter disappeared. Derricka Rogers, also known as Muffy, was last seen waiting at a taxi stand in Milk River. What unfolded next is a gut-wrenching story of persistence, heartbreak, and the lengths one father was willing to go to uncover the truth.As the investigation continues and suspects remain unnamed, we unpack what’s been reported so far, the questions that still hang in the air, and why community involvement matters more than ever. This is a case that’s still developing in real time—and it’s one you’ll want to hear.Follow the journey and join the conversation:Instagram: @criesfromthecaribbeanFacebook: Cries From the Caribbean PodcastYouTube: Subscribe now so you don't miss a thing!
