An elderly man named Jorge Montañez Torres, 79 years old, was reported missing from Patillas, Puerto Rico, on November 21, 2023. Montañez Torres, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, was last seen leaving his residence in the Miraflores sector of the Real neighborhood on highway PR-184. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a wine-colored short-sleeve t-shirt, black long pants, gray and cream-colored sneakers, and a cream-colored cap.
Authorities issued a Silver Alert for Montañez Torres, a public notification system for missing persons with cognitive impairments. He is described as a Hispanic male with a white complexion, standing between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing between 150 and 170 pounds.

Following his disappearance, volunteer search parties from the neighboring municipalities of Coamo, Arroyo, Guayama, and Maunabo were organized to assist in the search efforts.

The case is documented under the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System with the case number MP157784. The lack of subsequent information suggests that Jorge Montañez Torres remains a missing person.Last Seen: Nov 21, 2023
