The coastal town of Costa del Este is in a state of anxiety over the disappearance of Alejandro Stankevicius, a 78-year-old man last seen at 1:30 AM on February 25 when he left his home and did not return. His daughter, Natalia Stankevicius, expressed her distress over the situation, emphasizing that each minute is critical given his lack of medication, which he requires for Parkinson's disease.

Alejandro, who has a complicated medical history including Parkinson's disease and cardiac issues, was last known to have changed his medication, raising concerns that this could have caused confusion or disorientation. His background includes being an engineer born in Buenos Aires and having spent several years living in Bahía Blanca before settling in Costa del Este. The absence of his necessary medications further heightens fears for his wellbeing and health.

In addition to the search efforts, the family has made specific requests regarding his medical care if he is found, notably asking that no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) be performed on him. This adds another layer of urgency to their search, as the family navigates their concerns for his physical health as well as his mental state during this trying time.
