A search is underway for a New York couple who took a vacation to the Dominican Republic and suddenly vanished, with no sign of them for nearly two weeks. Orlando Moore, 43 and his girlfriend, Portia Ravenelle, aged 32, had arrived on a flight from Newark on 23 March 2019 and were scheduled to return to their home in Mount Vernon on 27 March. NBC reports that two weeks later they have not taken a return flight back and their car is still parked at the airport.
Moore’s sister, Lashay Turner, says all that is known is that the couple did check out of their hotel, the Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa in Samaná, but there’s no record of them getting back to the United States. As reported, they have not returned their rental car.
