The Miami Police Department is actively searching for Mercedes Caridad De La Quintela, a 60-year-old woman who has gone missing from the Flagami area of Miami. The search was publicized after officials released a call for help to locate the endangered woman.
De La Quintela, described as standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, was last seen in the Flagami area, as per the details shared by the Miami Police. Officials have yet to release any further information regarding her last known whereabouts or her clothing description. They have stated, however, that De La Quintela meets the criteria to be considered an endangered person, urging the public to HELP promptly contact the authorities if they have any information.
As reported by WSVN, there has been no specification of what De La Quintela was wearing when she was last seen, a factor that may complicate the process of identifying her by potential witnesses.
Miami Police have launched an appeal via their X account, including a description of De La Quintela and asking for anyone with information to come forward. "Anyone who sees her are asked to contact 305-603-6300 or 305-579-6111," the post reads. Information from the community could be critical in ensuring her safe return.
