Fiance Records Message to Missing Man

A little more than a month ago a Spanish man, Ivan Linan, disappeared from Hwy 36 near the town of Carlotta. Searchers combed the area with no success. There have been several unconfirmed sightings of the missing man in the first weeks after he disappeared, but none recently.

The last confirmed sighting of Linan was November 28 when he appeared to be suffering from a mental health crisis and fled a vehicle after he allegedly caused it to wreck.

His family and friends are desperate to hear from him. His fiance, “Che” (María José) recorded this message to Ivan in hopes that he sees it and contacts his family.

According to a translation provided by Linan’s nephew, Norb Iba Li, she is roughly saying, “”Ivan, we haven’t known about you for a long time. Get in contact with us. Your family, your friends, Hari (Their pet: a dog) and me, we all are looking forward to seeing you and to receiving you. So I ask you, if you are listening to me, to contact us.”

There is a $1000 reward for any information leading to his return.

I hope he is found safe, but saying he isn’t dangerous after he caused a vehicle to wreck, then fled the scene seems slightly dangerous. Someone knows something, hopefully they speak up!

Who knew this guy? Some more information would maybe help.

Where did he visit before his breakdown? How long at each place?

What cities did he enjoy the most?

Did he spend time in Garberville, Eureka, Arcata? AND what we’re his comments to friends/ family on these places. Did he meet people?

In a breakdown, he may be seeking somewhere safe, somewhere his memory is saying to go to.

If hes alive, he is not surviving in the mountains post breakdown. Even in this mild winter the cold would have gotten to him.

Good luck.

Maybe its less a “mental health” issue and more a typical midlife crisis scenario. Engaged with doubt in a foreign land with plenty of space to be free for awhile…wishing him well.
