According to reports, Vicente left wearing black pants and a gray sweater (although another version suggests it could have been white) and did not return to communicate with his family, which is completely unusual for him.
"Please, I need everyone who can to share this. He has been missing since Monday the 12th. He went to the bank to withdraw money and hasn't been seen since. We are desperate," Tamayo wrote in her post.
