A woman has contacted La Voz to ask for help and to be able to find her brother Ali Ouchen disappeared in Gran Canaria since last March 8 when he went out fishing by boat around 5:00 p.m. His disappearance was reported to the Guardia Civil by his family on March 14 after they saw his photo circulating on social media alerting about his disappearance.

The man, of 38 years old and resident in the Gran Canarian town of Vecindario, went fishing in a boat with another man. According to what his sister told La Voz, after the report Maritime Rescue went in search of the vessel, but they could not locate it.

Furthermore, in the complaint to which this medium has had access, it states that Ali Ouchen used to be absent for several days from the family home, but he always communicated with his family. This time it has not been so, as he has not contacted them by any means.

According to her explanation, the Civil Guard informed the family that "the boat returned to port a few days after sailing from the coast of Gran Canaria, but set sail again shortly after". However, she has not been located.

At the time of the disappearance, he was wearing a black tracksuit and beige beach shoes. In addition, he is 1.60 meters tall, is thin, his skin tone is white and he has short, wavy, black hair. 

The family and the Benemérita do not rule out any hypothesis in his disappearance, so they ask for citizen collaboration in all the islands in case Ouchan could be found in any of them.
