Charlie Fino has been missing for fifteen days and his family has turned to Facebook to plead to the authorities to continue the distressing search.

“It’s true that he is not the only man who’s lost and the authorities are looking for, but this does not mean that he isn’t important anymore because time has passed” a relative said.

Charlie is an 83-year-old dementia patient at St Vincent De Paul who was reported missing on 28th June when the patient ward that he was in was being managed by only one nurse, according to MUMN.

The family of Charlie posted heartbreaking Facebook posts urging for his case not to be “forgotten”.

“This is Charlie Fino, my mother’s uncle. He has been lost for two weeks now, since he left St. Vincent De Paul and no one noticed. Nobody knows where he went or what happened to him! We haven’t stopped looking for him yet,” Melissa Cini desperately explained.

“We, the relatives of this old man, have not stopped worrying, we have been searching for him and worrying about him everyday.”

Cini went on to say that the family deserves some closure, no matter the conditions that Fino is found in.

“Even if he is found dead, at least we can put him to rest with dignity and give him a proper funeral and burial. For us, this is important.”

“This is a human being for crying out loud.”

Meanwhile, another relative has questioned whether enough resources have been allocated to the search and whether it is still being treated as a priority “as it should be”.

“He is a beloved father, brother, uncle, brother-in-law, friend. There is no room for (more) failures, errors and complacency.”

 

Other relatives have appealed to land owners in Ħal Luqa, Gudja, Ħal Qormi, Mqabba, iż-Żurrieq, Qrendi and Ħal Safi to keep an eye out, in case the 83-year-old has sought shelter on private property.
