Montreal police are trying to locate a mother and her son who live together in the Saint-Léonard borough.
Lucia Giovanna Arcuri, who is 76 years old, was last heard from Tuesday morning during a telephone call.
Her son, 59-year-old Giuseppe Arcuri, was last spotted on Tuesday at around 9:30 a.m. in a restaurant near the corner of Perras and Rodolphe-Forget boulevards in the city’s Rivière-des-Prairies neighbourhood.
Investigators and their loved ones are worried about their safety.
Police say Lucia Giovanna, who suffers from memory loss, rarely leaves her home. In this case, she left without her medication and her cane. Police also say her son Giuseppe made worrisome comments prior to going missing.
Lucia Giovanna is described as being slim with fair skin and standing at about five feet and five inches. She has red hair down to her chin, blue eyes and wears glasses. It’s not clear what she was wearing at the time she went missing.
As for Giuseppe, he’s described as having fair skin, standing at about five feet and nine inches, weighing about 265 pounds. He has short grey hair and blue eyes. He wears a black coat that does not have a hood, a black shirt and black pants.
Both of them speak French, English and Italian.
Investigators have reason to believe they are together in the same location.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts should call 911 or communicate with their local police station.
