Police did not receive notification from the electronic monitoring company that there were any issues with the ankle bracelet on a man who was discovered dead on Monday, Assistant Superintendent Solomon Cash said yesterday.

"We didn't get any reports from ICS," said Cash, referring to the company contracted to monitor suspects outfitted with ankle bracelets.

"We are investigating how he went missing. We did not get a report from ICS prior to him being discovered."

Cash, who heads the homicide division of the Central Detective Unit (CDU), said police discovered the body after a fisherman stumbled on it Monday near the South Beach canals.

Asked whether it is protocol for ICS to contact police when a suspect is immobile for an extended period of time or if a device is off the grid, Sands said this is a peculiar case.

"I can't say whether it's protocol because we haven't had many situations like this where a person went missing and ended up dead," he said.

Cash said investigators have requested a log from ICS to determine where the victim was in the days leading up to his death.

President and CEO of ICS Security Concepts Stephen Greenslade told The Nassau Guardian on Wednesday that he is satisfied that the company followed proper protocol in monitoring the suspect who was found dead.

However, he did not explain whether officials noticed anything strange about the victim's monitoring device. Police believe the victim was Anthony Rolle, 33, who was reported missing last week by his girlfriend.

Cash said the missing person's report was made on Saturday at Central Police Station. "She reported that Anthony Rolle had not been seen since the 22nd of July," he said.

"We suspect that this decomposed body may be this individual, but of course we will have to do more of a conclusive identification by way of DNA analysis."

Cash said the ankle bracelet found on the victim was identified as the property of ICS and was outfitted to Rolle. "But our conclusive identification is by way of DNA," he said.

Cash explained that police can not rely on the family to identify the victim either as facial identification is "highly unlikely" due to the advanced decomposition of the body.

However, he added that there were some items police found on the body which family members identified as the property of the deceased.

Police believe he was dead for at least a week when he was found.
