Two men have been reported missing for several days in the city of Guantánamo, prompting family members and close friends to seek the community's help in finding them. Jorge Luis Salfrán, 64, and Escarle de Jesús Basulto Céspedes, whose age has not been disclosed, have been missing for about a week, according to journalist Miguel Reyes Mendoza (Miguel Noticias on Facebook).
Yudith Benítez, Basulto's aunt, reached out to the reporter for assistance in locating her nephew, who has been missing from his home in the Isleta area since last Monday. "He is absent from his home; his family and friends are desperate," she expressed. Benítez specified that Basulto was last seen wearing black pants and a light green shirt and provided the phone numbers 53768382, 59795906, and 53400237 for anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the family.
In another post, the journalist alerted the public about Salfrán's disappearance. Salfrán reportedly escaped from the San José nursing home in Guantánamo about a week ago, and no further information has been received since.
Dr. Marcos Mustelier requested assistance in finding the elderly man, stating that Salfrán is "strong," an alcoholic patient, but mentally sound and not suffering from any illness. According to the doctor, the man had been admitted to the nursing home but "claimed he didn't want to stay there. However, if his family doesn't pick him up, we can't discharge him. He fled the day before his birthday from the home located at km 2½ on the Caimanera road."
Anyone with information about Salfrán is urged to contact 21 365294 (the nursing home's number) or 59955421.
