Search for Yoneli Álvarez continues after incident in the Yaque del Norte river
Uncertainty remains in the Navarrete community, where relief agencies and police authorities are intensifying search efforts to locate Yoneli Álvarez, a 14-year-old teenager whose whereabouts remain unknown following a confusing incident that occurred near the Yaque del Norte River.
Details about the minors’ environment
A relative of the missing minor’s mother offered statements regarding the habits of Yoneli and her companion, a 15-year-old girl who is currently under medical care. According to the testimony, both were accustomed to going out together and spending long hours away from their homes, even returning in the early hours of the morning.
The source noted that, previously, the two teenagers used to be part of a group of three friends. The third member of the group had reportedly passed away some time ago in a motorcycle accident, although no precise details were offered regarding the circumstances of that event.
The teenagers had a habit of moving around together and, at times, they would stay out on the street until late at night and into the early morning hours.
