"He doesn't usually go out and stay away from home for so long. We are desperate," said Paulino, who asked for the support of the authorities and the citizenry to find his whereabouts as soon as possible. The man, originally from Río San Juan, lived with the woman and their children, and according to those close to him, he had not shown behaviors that would have anticipated a voluntary disappearance. Relatives enabled the number 829-983-7134 to receive any information that may contribute to locating him. In recent months, Santiago has seen a rise in reports of missing persons, some of which have had tragic outcomes, increasing public concern and the demand for rapid responses from the authorities.
