Re: Richard Baila missing in Conce....

Richard was able to get a phone call out and is alive and well.

Charles, thank you for making this service available.

Entel cell phones in concepcion are working sporadically. sms is best. We were actuelly in touch with someone by cell in concepcion, and got cut off. We are trying to reestablish communication.

We need cell phone numbers for anyone that might be in concepcion, missing or not. We have a working window of entel cell phones, and we are not sure how long it will last.

I live in the United States, in Waltham Massachusetts, and I'm looking for my brother Alfredo Moreno Hernando and his family: wife Alda Leal, daughters Camila and Monserrat, their last location was Coronel, close to Concepcion; they went to Coronel on vacation until Sunday February 28; we believe that because of the Feb. 27th eartquake they have been unable to return to their home in Santiago. Unfortunately, we haven't had any communication with them since the day of the earthquake and we are starting to get desperate as close to 5 days have passed without news from them. My brother doesn't have relatives in Chile, the cell phone number I have for them is 82683891.
If you have any information please contact me at my email: meccorrea@gmail.com.
Thank you,
Maria Correa

Sara, I have called Pedro and passed on your number to him, I just spoke to him and Ana is alive and in Concepcion, he will tell you more.

Thank you also to the lady or man in Edinburgh who contacted pedro and put him in touch with me. My thoughts are with those of you still looking for loved ones, I hope you find them soon.

Your welcome.

We still have more people to find.

I need to find my cousin HUGO HIDALGO DIAZ who is a fisherman in Lebu where he lives on the fishing boat. He works with his wife’s 7 brothers Cortes Abraham who are all fishermen. One of Hugo’s nieces in San Antonio was chatting with him on Messenger shortly before the earthquake, so we know he wasn’t out on a fishing trip. One of the brothers rang Hugo’s wife (who lives in San Antonio) on Sunday saying that Hugo was ok. However there’s been no more contact from any of the Lebu fishermen, none of the phone numbers answer. We suspect that the brother told us Hugo was ok so that his wife wouldn’t worry, as Hugo is constantly in contact with his wife and family. We know how difficult communication is at the moment, but Hugo is the kind of person who would move mountains to get in touch with his family, and we haven’t heard a word from him.

Hugo’s cellphone is: 9010 4760.

One of the 7 brothers is Gerardo Cortes Abraham who lives at: Rigoberto Iglesias 49, Poblacion Jose Joaquin Perez, Lebu.

Another brother, Orlando Cortes Abraham, has these cellphone numbers: 9221 3097 and 8248 8342.


I can be contacted on cellphone 9195 9983 or (032) 221 4336 office. We will be so grateful for any information you can give us to help us find Hugo. Thank you!

we just got this passed to us:
