A Cuban woman made a desperate plea to find her relative, Yunior Pérez Herrera, who disappeared nearly 15 years ago while attempting to emigrate.
Adriana Arderi Herrera explained in the Facebook group "Cubans Missing at Sea and on Land" that Yunior Pérez Herrera, born on June 19, 1977, and a resident of the municipality of Jagüey Grande, Matanzas, set off in a boat with 40 people, including 12 children, from the Martí cove, also located in that province.
Herrera noted that they were abducted at sea and possibly imprisoned in the Bahamas or Green Turtle Island, but since then, there has been no clear information about their whereabouts.
"We remain hopeful that he is still alive," he emphasized.
The young woman described her relative as a man who is 1.86 meters tall, with fair skin, brown eyes, and a tattoo on his arm that features two snakes surrounding an egg in the center.
Additionally, he had undergone cosmetic surgery on his ears before leaving. Before disappearing, he was the director of the musical group Sangre Latina in Jagüey Grande.
"Please, if anyone knows anything or can provide information, it would be a great help," said Herrera.
The love that some families feel for their loved ones is so profound that it does not fade, even when one of them is missing.
The young Cuban Karildi Marín remains missing from her home, and her family is experiencing even greater anguish these days, as her 25th birthday will be next Saturday, September 14.
"My sister Karildi will be celebrating her birthday on September 14, and she has been missing for nine months. We still do not have any answers from the authorities about what may have happened to her," her brother Yoandri Marín reported on Facebook.
In mid-August, Yoandri stated that he remains hopeful of finding out what happened to his sister.
"I pray to God that He always keeps you safe and that justice is served by the authorities, because to this day we have no news of you. We love you and will always love you," he wrote.
The young man believes that divine justice will punish those who have harmed his sister, but he also demands accountability from the authorities.
"Resolve my sister's case; time is running out, and it has been almost six months since her disappearance. We need answers," she said in June.
