Rádio Alto Minho14 September 2026 at 16:56

A 71-year-old woman is missing in Valença, in the district of Viana do Castelo. The family made a plea on social media asking for help to find the elderly woman, who reportedly disappeared around 06:00 on Sunday, in the São Bento area, in Cerdal.

The National Republican Guard (GNR) of Valença confirmed to the Portuguese news agency that it received the report and began search operations on Monday, approximately at 12:00. The information was provided by a source from the Territorial Command of the GNR of Viana do Castelo.

The searches had been underway since at least 15:00 the same day, when the news agency reported this information. The authorities did not provide further details about the circumstances of the disappearance or the woman's state of health.

Why this matters

Residents of Valença and the surrounding region should be on alert, especially in the Cerdal area, where the woman was last seen. The GNR is coordinating the searches, suggesting that authorities consider the situation a priority. This case comes after a family appeal on social media, indicating that initial location efforts were unsuccessful.
