Rastagirl777 you say "I know of a murder that happened close to 40 years ago that remains unsolved" ... I think you are fudging the truth here, maybe ?? something like not even 40 years. Wil Hojani the German from Sundowner disappeared 40 years ago, but definitely no signs of a murder in that disappearance. If you are fudging your statistics, for sure I am aware of what you are writing about, but that is more like 30 years ago.
Forty years ago the big tragedy was the death of either Hillman or Dalton, two Redground youths, due to their youth got involved in the qualude-thing back in those times. The other tragedy was the lovely lady from Hawaii who traversed down one of the steep staircases of a far out west end place, fell, and broke her neck. There were absolutely NO MURDERS in Negril 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34 years ago. Negril was still a gentle place back in those times. Filled with "original 'Naygril' people".
You live in a fairly privileged tourist/visitor place, for sure a NICE neighborhood, the bathrooms their kind of gross me out, but being right there on the seaside for sure is NICE!
One thing you should realize about Negril is that, really and truly, it is a COMPLETELY different place than the town you write about from May through October. I think you would be fairly shocked at how the neighborhood surrounding the Lighthouse area of Negril changes from May to October.
