Not us: Ride share app embroiled in Danielle Anglin case says suspect did not use their service.


inDrive the ride-sharing app company embroiled in the murder case of Danielle Anglin says the main suspect to Ms Anglin's murder did not use their platform to offer his services.

The police had stated earlier this week that a convicted sex offender connected to inDrive Jamaica was behind the May 13, 2024 abduction and murder of primary school teacher Anglin. The suspect is in police custody.

However, in a letter addressed to Transport Minister Daryl Vaz on June 6, inDrive's Central America Government Relations Manager distanced the company from the incident, making it clear that they had nothing to do with this tragedy.

"As of now, we have confirmed that the driver was not offering his services through our platform, and Ms Anglin used inDrive for the last time several days before her unfortunate disappearance," the letter said.

inDrive also disclosed that it has been in "close communication" with the lead investigator in the case to "provide all the support required".

In the letter, inDrive also expressed concern about the ban on ride-sharing services following Anglin's murder. On Tuesday (June 4) Miniter Vaz announced a ban on ride-sharing services because of "national security concern".

inDrive has since requested an urgent meeting with Minister Vaz to discuss alternatives to the ban which could address the Government's concerns.

Ms. Anglin left home for work at 5:50 a.m. on the morning of May 13, but did not arrive at work.

According to the police, a collaborative approach among several arms of law enforcement led to the discovery of a body believed to be that of Anglin in a densely vegetated area in Torrington district, Salt River in Clarendon on Monday. It was later confirmed to be the remains of the primary school teacher.
