After 3 Weeks There Are No Arrests For
The Murder Of  Desiree Gibbon

By Kamau Austin

After nearly 3 weeks there have been no arrests in the chilling case of Desiree Gibbons, The Hollis, Queens, resident who was brutally murdered on the Island of Jamaica, West Indies.  And her mother is losing confidence in the ability of the authorities in Jamaica to bring her killers to justice. Some accounts state Gibbons was staying in Jamaica, developing some media projects she was working on and reportedly looking to go to film school in Europe.  Other sources say she was just vacationing.

The Daily News, reported her grandparents owned an hotel on the island called "Gibb's Chateau."  Desiree was 26, and her mother Andrea Cali-Gibbon, felt that she knew her killers.  She suggested Desiree was not the type to go out with people she didn't know.

According to Pix 11 News "Somebody summoned her out of that hotel," Cali-Gibbon said. "She knew them, and she knew them well. She had not been around them once or twice; she had been around these people multiple times. Probably in the three-plus weeks she was there."
