The family of Reggae icon Bunny Wailer are appealing for information to find his wife who has been missing for over a year. Jean Watt, known to family and friends as Sister Jean, was reported missing on May 23, 2020, after apparently wondering out of Wailer’s home in Kingston.

The 70-year-old, suffers from Dementia and had been Wailer’s wife for over 55 years, before he died on March 2, 2021.

In an Instagram post made by Wailer’s son, Abijah Livingston, three days ago, he said: “Today marks a year since we laughed together. A year worth of searching. “ year worth of praying for your safe return.”

Livingston, is a singer-songwriter like his famous father, and is known professionally as Asadenaki. He has been actively making videos with family members hoping someone will come forward with information.

On March 9, 2021, he announced a new documentary called Wail N Soul Searching for Sis Jean was available to watch on YouTube to raise awareness about his step-mother’s disappearance.

In his social media post three days ago, he thanked everyone who had watched the documentary and announced it had been viewed over 20,000 times.

He went on to say, “the investigation continues!”

The family have urged the public to share any information and have said they are still searching for Ms Watt.

There have been numerous “sightings” of her but nothing has resulted in the 70-year-old being found. Ms Watt is originally from Trench Town, the area in Kingston where The Wailers formed in the 1960s.

The band consisted of Bunny Wailer, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh and they went on to become one of Jamaica’s most influential musical groups. Ms Watt is a talented fashion designer and had been with Wailer for over 55 years.

She designed and created most of the costumes he wore on tour, throughout his successful career.

Last year, while he was alive, Wailer, put up a reward of one million Jamaican dollars for information which could lead to the whereabouts of his beloved wife.

According to previous reports, his wife’s disappearance had a detrimental impact on Wailer’s health and he was described as being “distraught” and “heartbroken”.

In July 2020, two months after her disappearance, Wailer, who was affectionately called Jah B, suffered a stroke.

It was his second stroke in two years. The three-time Grammy award winner was admitted to the Medical Associates Hospital in St Andrew, in December 2020, for complications following his stroke that Summer.

The 74-year-old never fully recovered and died on March 2, 2021, and was the last surviving member of the iconic Reggae band.

Marley died of cancer on May 11, 1981 and Tosh was murdered at his home on September 11, 1987.

In a statement released online, the family said they “continue to focus on curating a funeral fit for a King!”

The statement released on www.bunnywailerlegacy.com also called for fans to check Bunny Wailer’s official social media handle @theofficialbunnywailer on Instagram and Facebook “for future updates on the burial information and finalised funeral date.”
