Yeremi Vargas, aged seven, vanished while playing outside his home on the holiday island of Gran Canaria three months ago. He was last seen playing with two of his cousins just a stone’s throw away from his family on 9 March.
Extensive enquiries and searches by hundreds of volunteers have failed to find him, 10,000 posters have been put up around Spain, Yeremi’s picture has been posted on YouTube and more than 4,000 people attended a rally in support of his family. He is described as “very shyâ€?.
The family’s ordeal was made worse following a sick hoax caller demanding money for his safe return. But Yeremi’s disappearance has also touched many people, including a pensioner who reportedly put her small monthly payment up as a reward for his return.
Yeremi’s mother , who is 24, was traumatised and had to be sedated following his disappearance.
“They have taken my son and are doing something awful to him.�
His family has been offering support to Madeline McCann’s parents. Tragically, Yeremi’s disappearance is the second child abduction case to rock the island in less than a year.
Last July, a 14-year-old girl named Sara Morales vanished from Las Palmas, the main city on Gran Canaria, while on her way to a shopping centre. As with Yeremi, the island community joined together to search for the teenager and put up thousands of “missing” posters.
The two disappearances have shaken the local community and raised fears among islanders that the cases are linked and that a paedophile is at large.
In memory of those who are still missing.
We want to leave a message for the parents of Jeremy Vargas, Madeleine McCann and this is also for the other parents of missing children.
Our heart is crying for your child. We are parents of four children and we can imagine that you are going crazy when your child is missing. That leaves also a lot of questions.
Why can we let people walk on the moon. Invent al kind of deadly weapons, pump millions in all kind of nonsense, but can’t trace missing children. Well the answer is very clear, for a lot of sick sadists those children are big money. Even those millions who are offered for finding those children ain,t make adifference because they can make ten times more money on them. How is it possibele that hundreds of children dissapear each year whithout a trace?
I think that there is a big market for those children and that very high placed people are customers on that market. I have a question for al those sick minds, how can you live with yourself and can you sleep a night doing those things to all those children? Maybe this comment is not helping but we will make a deal with God to let children return savely to there parents. We will think of you and send all our love to you . With the most regards,
Bea. Eric, Melanie, Ben, Ricardo and Armando Kiekens from the Netherlands.
Bea, thank you for your comment, and I agree with everything you say.
Hi Ellee
I am heading up a small team focussing specifically on Spain for our forum group in the search to find Madeleine McCann. My next task is to co-ordinate the emailing of all major Spanish football clubs to ask them to help.
Recently I printed off hundreds of posters of both Madeleine and Yeremi. We held these aloft in front of a 6000 plus crowd, local and national tv cameras and local press prior to the FC Torrevieja v Fuerteventura play off final at FC Torrevieja.
I would be more than happy to include Yeremi’s details in my approach to the Spanish clubs. In fact it would be ideal to ask for support for both children at the same time.
We have no contact with anyone concerning Yeremi and I found your site via a google search. Could you provide a link so that I can request information ? I am starting the project very soon so it would be great if someone either e mailed me or contacted the website forum address listed.
Our aim is to fight the predators of our children and WIN !
Many Thanks
Mick

Mick, I’m sorry about the delay in replying due to holidays and other distractions. I noticed this post has had a considerable number of hits and just checked it out. I’m afraid I don’t have any links at all, I also rely on Google for my research. I wish I could help. And good luck.
Thanks for your reply Ellee and keep up your fantastic work !! Where do you get the energy from – can you bottle it and send some to me ?
Mick
I pray no harm has come to those children. It’s so sad how sick some people can get – how they can hurt their fellow human beings, much more children.
