Almost a month after his disappearance, the family of Heriberto Llánez García, who resides in Morón, Ciego de Ávila, continues to plead for any information that could help locate him.
Yamilka Llánez Villanueva expressed her sadness on Facebook as she remembered the disappearance of her father: “Tomorrow will mark a month since my dad, Heriberto Llánez García, left home and has not been seen. We are from Morón.”
He also asked for help from the community: “Please, continue to assist me as you have been. We have no way to thank so many good people who write to me and send me photos, but there’s still nothing. If you see him, take a picture and call 53156657. Thank you.”
A few days ago, Llánez shared on his Facebook wall that a young man from Minas, Camagüey, thought he had seen him and promised to try to find him to take a picture and send it to him.
"The police here told me that I have to wait until tomorrow to meet with him. Today marks 22 days," he specified on that occasion.
The woman has repeatedly requested that anyone who believes they have seen her father take a photograph and send it to her to verify it’s him. There have been times when they were notified that the elder was in a certain location, and upon going to find him, it turned out not to be him.
Llánez has insisted several times that his father is not insane. When leaving his house, he did not take any documents or his phone with him.
"Some call him Llánez and others call him Iñe. We still haven't found him. If you see him, please hold him and send a photo," he requested.
