A Walk That Disappeared
The quiet morning in Rimor, a small town in Ponferrada, was broken by the strange disappearance of Berto de Arcos, a 73-year-old glassmaker.
Dressed casually, Berto left the house despite the cold, ready to walk his usual route through the Rimor mountains.
Everything seemed normal until, in the middle of a very busy area, he got lost without a trace.
His daughter, Elena, regrets the uncertainty and the painful wait: ‘We don’t know what happened to him or where he is. His disappearance is a disturbing enigma.’
The Last Movements
On Wednesday, December 6, Berto started his walk as usual, until at some point he disappeared from the local radars.
His morning routine was disrupted, and his family began a frantic search of the village and its surroundings.
Every nook and cranny of the area has been searched, but no indication of its whereabouts or final destination.
The Highway Track
A subsequent call added to the tension when a witness claimed to have seen a figure that could correspond to Berto walking along the national highway.
Even so, the police remained skeptical, stating that it did not match the description of Berto’s clothing, although the way he walked could match.
This clue has kept alive the hope of finding it, but it has also raised doubts about the veracity of the sighting.
The Incessant Beat
The search has expanded to other nearby areas, including rivers and forests where Berto may have ventured.
Efforts by volunteers, local authorities and specialist teams have failed to solve the mystery of the disappearance.
Despite the uncertainty, the family and the town of Rimor are still united in the ceaseless search for Berto, hoping to find him again and put an end to this distressing situation.
