its strange, we can spend millions on bringing undocumented people into our country, but cant even give somebody with a mental disease a helping hand, or an evening out of the cold.

that’s a problem, so if the “medical episodes” were described better such as
randomly passed out, went crazy, or don’t know why, would make it any easier?

This is a fellow human in trouble in our county. I have serious issues with our industrial weed production and mega-greed growers but this is a human in need. Many USA citizens who are mentally challenged also come here to trim weed each year. Yes- I have seen them sent here as their parents hoped our weird scene and beautiful country would be a better fit for them. So people w/ issues come here to work and maybe scratch out a little income. They are not the problem. Many good people started out here like that! Hope this turns out well.

This article simply lists info about a person possibly in trouble/needing help. It’s good to live in a community where we can look out for each other.

The ability of people here to leap to conclusions based on virtually no usable information is both astounding and amusing.

Please, if anyone sees him, approach him (don’t worry, he is not dangerous) and tell him calmly: “don’t worry, we’ll take you to Che and Ari”. These are the names of those he loves, so it should calm him down. Thank you very much. We’d appreciate any help.

Just to clarify and bring some more light into the issue. The guy, Ivan is my friend. Not a dangerous nutcase, not a junkie, not a wasted kid, not an illegal alien and not carrying a gun. Has been in the USA for two months with a tourist visa, just traveling for the season.

He was on the way to catch a plane to Spain cause he got homesick and stressed for days and it developed into his first paranoid episode ever. He thinks his friends, who really just want to help him, are after him to abduct him. If anybody sees him, please contact the authorities as stated and keep him with you until they arrive. Lots of family and friends worried over here in Spain for two days now.

Also, the sheriff department is organising a search party for today, so if any volunteers in the area want to join, get in touch, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all, peace.

please we need your help. Ivan is an excellent person, who loves and cares for his friends and family, he es calm, locely and affectionate. He has never had an episode like that, he is only living a very stressful moment far away his family, friends and love. If you see him, please calm him down and talk to him from home, and if you do not dare, nothing happens, but please call the Shérif.
We need all kind of help.
Thank you all.

Hello people from Carlotta or surrounding areas.My name is Raúl and I’m from Spain. I really know Ivan from many years ago, he is a really lovely person who has suffering a health problem, everyone can suffer this type of problem in his family. But the most important thing is that we all need your help. We live so far away from California and it’s completely impossible to look for him there. He has family, many friends who are suffering because we know NOTHING. Please share his photo in the social media, any clue is welcome.
Please, if you know anything…contact with the sheriff’s office.

I Live in the Humboldt Bay region (Eureka, Arcata). As I travel around on the 101, and 255 highways (and also, north to Mckinleyville), I will look for Ivan, and contact him if I see him.

I will tell him that his loved ones in Granada are looking for him… that especially, Che and Avi, are longing to speak with him. I will also discreetly contact the authorities. I will offer Ivan the use of my cell phone in order to call Che and Avi.

Let’s get Ivan home to Southern Spain safe and sound!

I am Ivan Linan’s nephew. We are very grateful for your collaboration and help. Last person who has said he has seen him was a Garberville’s citizen two days ago. He explained this: “Could have sworn I just saw him yesterday morning in Garberville. He was dressed in brown pants, a black waterproof type jacket and he had a backpack. He was crossing the street and seemed totally fine. He was by himself and last o saw he was sitting on the bench in that veterans park thing by Dazeys. He certainly didn’t seem in danger or trouble, just a dude getting ready for the day…”

All the best
