Vacationing Wisconsin man found by authorities after three days missing in Puerto Rico

Authorities reported they have found a missing 64-year-old Wisconsin man on Tuesday who was separated from a hiking tour group while on vacation, according to Puerto Rico’s Office of Emergency Management and Disaster Administration.

After three days of searching, Abdur Rahman was found near the Icacos River in Naguabo and was transported to a hospital, according to a tweet from the Office of Emergency Management.

The Associated Press first reported Monday that Rahman was hiking with a group when he became separated from them on Sunday.

According to the Office of Emergency Management, six rescue groups worked on the third day of the search using dogs and a drone to find “the tourist” who had been reported missing in El Yunque since Sunday.

“On behalf of everyone who worked on this search, thank you to the family for their trust and for never losing hope,” the agency wrote in a post on X, which has been translated into English.

Authorities also said that Rahman’s family members, who had gone into the forest in the early morning hours to find him, were located and were safe, according to Puerto Rican news outlet El Vocero.

It wasn’t clear Wednesday where in Wisconsin Rahman lives.

Police said Rahman was a tourist staying in an Airbnb in Naguabo, a beach town on Puerto Rico’s east coast near the rainforest.
