A Vancouver family is asking for help finding a relative missing since
Monday morning.
Amanuel Berehe, 55, left his home near East First Avenue and Main
Street at about 9:30 a.m. PT.
His nephew, Simon Zewde, said it's not like his uncle to miss school
or work. He said the family is "extremely worried."
"He was pretty on time with everything. It didn't make sense to me. He
left his cellphone and wallet at home," Zewde said.
Berehe recently moved to Vancouver from Israel — he is originally from
Eritrea — and only speaks broken English, but Zewde said he's not
afraid to ask for help.
The family has been out driving around searching for Berehe in all the
usual spots he likes to walk, including the Olympic Village and around
the Vancouver Community College campus.
Zewde said a man at the Main Street SkyTrain station told him he saw
Berehe Monday morning. The man said Berehe asked for help buying a
ticket to get downtown before offering him some change for his help.
"I'm pretty sure someone must have seen him," Zewde said.
Berehe doesn't have any health issues, and Zewde said he is polite and
very approachable.
He's described as:
Black.
Five feet six inches.
150 pounds with a shaved head.
A thin black moustache and brown eyes.
Last seen wearing a light grey zip-up hoodie, royal-blue, collared
sports shirt, brown sandals and black socks.
Anyone who has seen him or knows where he might be is asked to call
911 or the VPD missing persons unit at 604-717-2530.
