Reggae legend Bunny Wailer is frantically searching for his missing wife, Jean Watt, who has been missing for a month. The 70-year-old woman suffers from short-term memory loss and has not been seen or heard from since her disappearance.
Bunny Wailer is now offering a Sh761,458 cash incentive for anyone who can provide information leading to her safe return. His son, Asadenaki, has also taken to social media to plead with online users to come forward with any information regarding her whereabouts.
"There is now a 1 Million dollar reward for her safe return or any information of her whereabouts. So if you see her or anyone like her needing assistance please Report it immediately to the police. Let’s share this information and keep everyone Active. Oneness!" Asadenaki said.
According to Bunny Wailer's manager, Maxine Stowe, there have been reports of Watt being seen in St Catherine and Portland, specifically Port Antonio and Buff Bay, in the weeks following her disappearance. The family is following up on every sighting and has printed flyers to distribute in the area.
Watt's disappearance has also raised concerns for Bunny Wailer's health, as he has been receiving medication to manage the stress of her disappearance. The family is also keeping an eye on him, as he suffered a mild stroke two years ago.
Watt is a renowned Jamaican reggae artiste and was once part of the I Three, a trio of backing vocalists for Bob Marley & The Wailers. She is credited with writing several songs, including "Hallelujah Time" and "Pass It On", which appeared on The Wailers album Burnin’ in 1973.
