Two men have been reported missing for several days in the city of Guantánamo, and family members and close acquaintances are asking the community for help in finding them.
Jorge Luis Salfrán, 64 years old, and Escarle de Jesús Basulto Céspedes, whose age has not been revealed, have been missing for about a week, according to information released by journalist Miguel Reyes Mendoza (Miguel Noticias on Facebook).
Yudith Benítez, aunt of Basulto, asked the reporter for help in finding her nephew, who has been away from his home in the town of Isleta since last Monday. “He is absent from his home, and his family and friends are desperate,” she stated.
The woman specified that Basulto was wearing black pants and a light green shirt, and provided the phone numbers 53768382, 59795906, and 53400237, for anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact the family.
In another post, the journalist announced the alert for the disappearance of Salfrán, who escaped from the San José nursing home in the city of Guantanamo about a week ago, and has not been heard from since.
Dr. Marcos Mustelier was the one who requested help to locate the elderly man, who "is strong," he said, and "is an alcoholic patient, but is in his right mind and does not suffer from any disease."
According to the doctor, the gentleman, who was hospitalized in the asylum, "claimed that he did not want to stay there anymore, but if the family does not pick him up, we cannot discharge him. Until he escaped the day before his birthday from the home located at km 2½ of the Caimanera road."
Anyone with information about Salfrán can contact 21 365294 (this is the home phone number) or 59955421.
In mid-July, a call for help circulated on social media to locate the young man Eduardo Alberto Vera Rosales, 29 years old, who was missing in Havana.
Félix Rojas Pérez, a deaf-mute man who disappeared in August 2023 from the village of La Güira, in the Manuel Tames municipality of Guantánamo, was found alive nearly a year later.
Reports of disappearances of Cubans have become more frequent in recent months, as well as the publication of requests for help on social media to obtain information, amid a context of rising violence in the country.
Almost eight months after 24-year-old Karildi Marín disappeared in Havana, her family does not lose hope of finding her safe and sound and continues searching for information to determine her whereabouts. "We, your family, will keep an eye out," stated her brother Yoandri Marín in a recent social media post.
