The disappearance of Yoslaydis Remedios Armenteros, a 38-year-old Cuban last seen on September 18, 2025, in the town of Máximo Gómez, Perico municipality, Matanzas, is a new example of the helplessness that families on the Island face when searching for a loved one and receiving no responses from the authorities.
Her mother, Tamara Caridad Armenteros, has had to turn to social media and content creator platforms to spread the case, after not receiving clear information from official channels.
In a video, the woman describes the situation as a constant agony. After nearly four months of her disappearance, no one has been able to tell this mother what might have happened to her daughter.
"The Police do not give me information; it’s as if they haven't been working from the very beginning," Tamara stated in a video.
"I beg anyone who has seen her, anyone who has any information, please contact me at my phone number. It is 58-34-91-82. I am desperate, I can't take it anymore," she said through tears.
The troubled woman claimed that she has gone to Havana to file complaints and make inquiries with the Department of Citizen Services and the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and it has all been in vain.
"They just tell me that they are working on it, and that's it; I have to wait. But wait. Until when? Until when do I have to keep waiting?" she questioned.
The report was highlighted on Facebook by the content creator Nio Reporting a Crime and amplified by the feminist platform Alas Tensas, which has become a refuge for families of missing persons seeking support in the face of institutional unresponsiveness.
A face, a story, an urgency
Yoslaydis was last seen around 6:20 PM on September 18, 2025. Since then, she has not been in contact with her family, which is particularly concerning, as her mother stated they had daily communication several times a day.
On September 22, a formal report was filed with the Perico Police regarding a person missing from their home. However, over time, the family has not received any concrete information or visible evidence of progress in the investigation.
According to data collected by journalist Marta María Ramírez, Yoslaydis has brown skin, black hair, and notable distinctive features, such as a surgical scar on her right hand and a keloid from a burn on her left hand.
Additionally, he has difficulty walking due to a cerebral ischemia that caused paralysis on the right side of his body.
He is originally from Cárdenas. The last known address is Aranguren No. 271, between Carrillo and Línea, Máximo Gómez, Perico.
On the day of her disappearance, she was wearing green shorts and a black blouse, and she had her mobile phone with her.
His family insists that any piece of information, no matter how small it may seem, could be vital.
When the search moves to the Internet
The story of Yoslaydis highlights an increasingly common reality in Cuba: families of missing persons are compelled to become investigators, communicators, and managers of their own search, shifting to social media and independent media a responsibility that should fall on the institutions.
Influencers, independent journalists, and citizen platforms have become the main channels for disseminating faces, descriptions, and urgent calls, while families await responses that do not come through official channels.
Tamara Caridad Armenteros has requested that anyone with information contact her directly at the phone number 58349182. Her only wish, she reiterates, is to be able to find her daughter and embrace her again.
