Police Continue Search for Mozart Peters
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force is continuing active search operations for Mozart Peters, also known as Dexter, who went missing more than six weeks ago. Extensive multi-agency search efforts across Tortola have yet to locate the missing man. Authorities are renewing appeals to the public for any information that could assist in determining his whereabouts.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has reaffirmed that the search for missing resident Mozart Peters, widely known as "Dexter," remains active and ongoing more than six weeks following his disappearance. Peters was officially reported missing on August 17, 2026. In the weeks since, law enforcement officers and community partners have carried out numerous coordinated search operations across various rugged and residential areas throughout Tortola.
Despite exhaustive field sweeps and follow-up inquiries, his whereabouts remain unknown. The ongoing search efforts have mobilized resources across several specialized police units, supported by significant inter-agency collaboration. Key contributors include the Department of Disaster Management (DDM), personnel from the Immigration Department, and the St.
In addition, local volunteer organizations, family members, and concerned residents have actively assisted in ground operations and community awareness efforts. Police officials emphasized that the investigation is actively progressing on multiple fronts. Detectives continue to review all available evidence, assess incoming tips, and follow up on investigative leads generated through public outreach and field inquiries.
Authorities underscored that the passage of time has not diminished their commitment to locating Peters and providing answers to his family. Peters is described as being approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, with a dark complexion and a stocky build. According to police reports, he was last seen wearing a white vest and light-blue underpants, and was not wearing any shoes at the time of his disappearance.
The RVIPF is strongly urging members of the public across the Territory to come forward with any details, noting that even seemingly minor observations could provide critical breakthroughs. Anyone who may have seen Peters, believes they encountered him following his disappearance, or possesses information regarding his current location is asked to immediately contact the police via the 311 hotline, visit the nearest police station, or speak directly with any RVIPF officer.
