Gary, a long-term resident of Tenerife, was last seen near Playa Las Vistas around 10pm. Witnesses report that he was picked up by ambulance after falling ill, an incident believed to have been initiated by the national police. Despite thorough searches and inquiries with hospitals and local authorities, no trace of Gary has been found since that night.

Gary is particularly vulnerable due to mobility challenges caused by a previous illness and a broken hip. He relies on a walking frame, making it extremely unlikely that he could travel far without assistance. Reports suggest he may have been taken to Mojan hospital, located in a remote mountain area, but it remains unclear what happened after his arrival.

Gary is a familiar face in Playa Las Vistas, known to locals and businesses in the area, including Noah’s Ark, a spot he frequently visited. His sudden disappearance has raised alarm among his friends and the community, who are deeply worried for his safety.

If you were in the area of Playa Las Vistas on December 19—or nearby on any of the days following—and recall seeing anything unusual or have information about Gary’s whereabouts, please get in touch immediately.
