A Dominican has gone missing in Amsterdam, Holland (The Netherlands) and the Dominican authorities have been alerted and asked for assistance. Teresa María Díaz Nerio was last seen by family members on 17 January 2018, when she left her home in Amsterdam where she lived with two brothers. The brothers find it unusual that their sister has not answered phone calls or emails.

She is the daughter of Alma Josefina Nerio, a university professor and consultant for municipal issues and gender, who complained the authorities have not done enough to help find her daughter.

Díaz was born in Santo Domingo but is now residing in The Netherlands. She is a graduate in art from Gerrit Rietveld Academy of the Arts in Amsterdam in 2007 and has a masters in art from the Dutch Art Institute in 2009.

The Magaly Pineda Feminist Forum called on the Dominican state for assistance and to take a lead in the search for Diaz Nerio, and urged that Interpol, appoint investigators. Nerio also urged that an official commission involving Dominican embassies in Europe be appointed to investigate the case of the missing artist. According to Nerio, The Dutch authorities have so far only have been reviewing the city surveillance cameras in hopes of finding a clue to the disappearance.

“In such a modern world, with so much technology, there are so many ways to locate a person,” said the mother, complaining her daughter has been missing for 20 days when appearing on a local TV program to encourage the authorities to help find her daughter.
