The family of Marleivys Martín, who vanished on Monday, May 6th, during a trip from Nuevitas to Camagüey, continues to seek information about her whereabouts.

Rolymily Gongar, a Facebook user who identifies as Martín's cousin, shared a post on the social network this Tuesday reiterating that her relative, a resident of Nuevitas, remains missing. The post also requests that anyone with information about her location contact the police in the Camagüey municipality of Nuevitas.

A noteworthy detail that could aid in identifying her is that Martín always appears to be wearing makeup, as her lips and eyebrows are tattooed. Martín is a mother of two young girls and was last seen on Monday, May 6th, when she left for Camagüey, supposedly to attend an eyebrow course.

Recently, another Cuban mother, Amanda Benítez, was reported missing this past Sunday after being absent from her home since Friday when she left for an appointment at the Identity Card Office in Old Havana. She was found hours later in the municipality of San Miguel del Padrón, wandering the streets in a disoriented state. She was located by a woman who recognized her from photos that had been circulated on social media in recent hours, asking for help.
