ROMARE XAVIER "ROME" KIRKLAND
AGE: 27
Born in USA/ American Citizen
The last time anyone spoke with Rome was Thursday 11/18/2021 evening by phone although not confirmed, during that conversation he was believed
to be at a restaurant at the beach close to the Pro Cab section of Cabarete. Apparently the wifi connection in the Airbnb he was staying in (Pro Cab building R R)
wasn't working so he decided to use the internet at one the restaurants close to where he was staying.
We are not sure exactly when but it appears he checked out of his Airbnb sometime yesterday Friday 11/19/2021. A mutual friend in Sosua was able to go to
this Airbnb (Pro Cab building R R) this morning and gain access in order to verify both Rome and all of his belongs were gone. The room did not appear to be
out of order or show any signs of a forced entry. From this point he seems to have vanished.
He was supposed to attend Greg's (from Flip Flops) Birthday Party yesterday afternoon/ evening but he never showed up. He also had a reservation booked at
Hotel Voramar Sosua for last night. He never called to cancel his reservation nor did he arrive at the hotel. At 27 years of age Rome is a very astute and mature
individual. He is not the type of person to avoid calling to cancel a hotel reservation and he is definitely not the type of person to not return phone calls or messages
from concerned friends.
A missing person's report is being filed as we speak with the appropriate authorities on the North Coast. We have people from Puerto Plata checking with Immigration
Officials thinking he may been picked up by mistake. Our team of friends have already contacted the jails and hospitals on the North Coast and came up empty. We had
someone with a key check his residence here in Santiago as well. Still nothing. Rome lived in Sosua for several years prior to moving down here to Santiago.
Some of you folks who've lived in and around Sosua for a few years may recognize him from these photos. Rome doesn't use drugs or hang around shady circles nor is he a big drinker who likes to spend time at the bars.
I've been asked to start this thread on DR1 as we are all very concerned at this point. I've also been given permission to post a few photos of Rome with the hope of someone seeing his picture and helping us to locate him or provide us with additional information. If you have any information you think may be helpful please feel free to either PM me or post it in the comment section and I will relay it to the appropriate person(s).
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
