Yoanier Dorta Mesa, a private taxi driver from Matanzas, who had been missing since Monday, November 4th, has been found alive and well, according to various social media sources familiar with the situation. The news was initially shared by Yordanka López Lorenzo, who identified herself as the young man's mother-in-law. She revealed that her son-in-law left for Santiago de Cuba on Saturday, November 2nd, for a rented trip, driving a white Lada.
López Lorenzo mentioned in a since-deleted post that Dorta Mesa made a stop in Palma Soriano. "We lost contact with him around noon on Monday, November 4th," she pleaded in her post. Despite the deletion, other social media posts echoed her call for help, with numerous commenters confirming that Yoanier had been found.

An unverified report suggested that he was located in Baracoa, Guantánamo. In her initial post, Yordanka López explained the trip was with a known acquaintance of the family. However, "they are doing nothing to allow us to communicate with him," she noted. As of the time of this report, no further details are available.
