The search for Carlus Tron, known to many as Jack, has now stretched into its tenth day — and not a single lead has emerged. The 37-year-old man from Ummar village, Ri Bhoi District, vanished mysteriously on June 11 near Umran, along the busy National Highway-6.
That day, Carlus had just returned from Shillong’s Lawmali area, where he had accompanied his wife, who had gone into the hospital for childbirth. while traveling back, traveling with his mother-in-law and three friends, Carlus reportedly asked to stop in Umran. Just to pee, he said. He stepped out — and never came back. The others, confused but assuming he’d catch up, continued to Ummar without him.
Since then? Silence.
His brother, Andreas Tron, shared the family’s growing despair. “We’ve searched everywhere. The jungle. The streams. The fields. We’ve asked people, knocked on doors. Still nothing,” he said. A missing complaint was filed the same day at Umsning Police Station, but according to Andreas, there has been no meaningful update from authorities.
“The wait is killing us,” he added. “We don’t even know what to think anymore.”
Carlus’s disappearance has shaken the village. Residents and family members have joined hands in the search, but hope is fading. Andreas made a public plea: If anyone knows anything, anything at all, please come forward. Contact us or the nearest police station. We just want him back. For now, the family holds on. To hope. To prayer. And to the belief that maybe, just maybe, someone out there knows what happened that day in Umran.
