Since the disappearance, there have been speculations that Castro is not dead and will return home someday.

Seven years down the lane, both Castro and Janet have not returned neither have their bodies been found anywhere. It is now imperative of a court to legally declare the two dead as enshrined in the 1992 constitution of Ghana.

Evidence Acts of Ghana, 1975, Section 3 states that a person can only be declared legally dead after seven years by a court, where the person in question has not been seen or heard from in seven years despite diligent and persistent efforts to find him.

This means both lost personalities will be declared dead after 7th July 2021 and their families can proceed to hold a funeral for them.
