A Cuban mother desperately sought help on social media this Saturday from authorities and the community to locate her 20-year-old daughter, who allegedly ran away with a former inmate in Havana.
Aliusky Navas Sardina explained on Facebook that the young woman, identified as Milena Álvarez Navas but known by the nickname "Tita," was last seen wearing a denim skirt, a black polka dot blouse, and sandals.
According to a family member, Milena is in a vulnerable situation as she has an injury to her leg and visible marks on her face.
Additionally, she noted that an aunt of the young woman claimed to have seen her in the company of a man exhibiting suspicious behavior.
The mother clarified in another Facebook post that the man with whom her daughter supposedly fled is a former inmate, involved in theft-related offenses.
In her messages posted on social media, the mother requested the public's assistance in spreading the search and urged the authorities not to cease their efforts.
The mother also provided contact numbers in her message, hoping to obtain any clues about her daughter's whereabouts: 52002145, 51215411, 50255792, and 79998967825.
Previously, the distressed woman made another post identifying Yuniel Rafael Reyes Meriño as the man who is allegedly with her daughter: “This person is wanted for taking Milena Álvarez Navas. If you see this, please return my daughter; that is all I ask.”
Last Wednesday, the desperate mother expressed her anguish on social media: “I need the help of everyone on Facebook and my friends. I want to make a report: my daughter is missing, and I need your help to find her. Her name is Milena, she lives in Centro Habana, and she is 20 years old.”
Since then, he has not stopped pleading for any information regarding the young woman's whereabouts.
Reports of disappearances of people often circulate on social media, both inside and outside of Cuba.
Family and friends, due to the government's inaction, are placing their hopes in desperate announcements to obtain information that will help locate their loved ones.
A family in Havana remains desperate over the disappearance of an elderly man who has been missing for 72 hours, prompting his daughter to turn to social media for help.
"Please, let me know if you hear any news. I need to find my dad; it's been 72 hours and we don't know anything," wrote Ivonne Vila Martínez on Facebook in her plea for help to locate her father, who disappeared somewhere in the city and suffers from dementia.
