Man missing from Colmenar since Sunday is safely located

A major search was mounted today for a 44-year-old man from Colmenar, who went missing on Sunday. Volunteers from the SOS Desaparecido association and local residents joined the Guardia Civil, National and Local police, fire brigade and Civil Protection teams in the hunt for Rafael Postigo, whose car was found in the rural Realengo area on Monday. There was no sign of anything unusual with the vehicle, and Rafael was said to know the area well.

The search for Rafael, who suffers from mental health problems and was believed to have stopped taking his medication, began again at 8am this Tuesday morning (22 February), with the help of police dogs and a drone. His parents, with whom he lives, said he left no note and no explanation when he left the house on Sunday.

However, the search was called off this Tuesday afternoon after Rafael appeared at a country property in the Realengo area.

This is not the first time he has disappeared, and on the previous occasion he was found in Granada.
