A sense of anguish has engulfed a family from Ocujal del Turquino, a small town in the Sierra Maestra, Santiago de Cuba, following the disappearance of a young man who has not been found for over a week since leaving Matanzas.
According to a report on social media by her cousin, Daima Ricardo Osorio, the family is desperate and is seeking any information to find Yulior Osorio Díaz.
A person close to the victims told CiberCuba: “The police haven’t done anything. Just two months ago, he lost his brother to cancer, and the parents are on the brink of collapse. They are a family with very few resources and don’t even have a phone to call for help.”
The case has shocked the local community, which has come together on social media to demand a more active search, following Aliannis Díaz Licea's appeal on Facebook.
This Wednesday, the elderly Cuban woman Felicia Gómez Díaz from Trinidad marks 20 days missing, and her family continues to search for her.
Felicia, 67 years old, is a wife, mother, and grandmother who went out on December 5 at 8:00 am to look for her cows; since then, no one has heard from her. She has lived for 40 years on a small family farm in the village of La Ermita, along the road that connects Trinidad to Sancti Spíritus.
At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a green coat, tights, rubber boots, and a blue cap from the local baseball team. An hour after she left, her husband noticed her absence and began to search for her. Soon, other relatives and neighbors from the area joined in the search.
The woman, mother of two daughters (Yaneisy and Yudisleisy Gómez Gómez), is diabetic, but she had breakfast that morning. It is ruled out that she was a victim of a robbery because the cows returned on their own. "The cows always go to the same place and come back by themselves," a relative explained to CiberCuba.
The family is making an urgent appeal to anyone or any institution that can assist in finding the young man and alleviating the uncertainty that is consuming them.
