A family is searching for their missing patriarch, Edmond Bradley Solomon III, who disappeared while on a Royal Caribbean cruise in Cozumel, Mexico. Solomon, who was recently diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, went missing shortly after getting off the ship to visit the bathroom. His family has been following false leads and hitting dead ends in their search, causing distress and frustration. Despite their efforts, there have been no major updates on his whereabouts as of yet.
Solomon’s wife, Mimi, was with him on the cruise when he disappeared. The couple had planned to spend the day in Mexico before Solomon went missing. His daughter, Savannah Miller, described the moments leading up to his disappearance, saying that he walked fast and often focused on the ground while walking. She pleaded for help from the public in sharing information about her father in the hopes of raising awareness and increasing the chances of finding him. Solomon spent his life caring for others as a critical care nurse at a VA hospital and is currently being searched for by his family and local police in Cozumel.
The family has been following leads and tips in Cozumel since Solomon’s disappearance, but have not had any success in locating him. Miller described her father’s tendencies, mentioning that he may seem calm or apathetic and might refuse help, especially from strangers. Despite his appearance of heading somewhere with conviction, he is actually lost and scared and cannot process emotions like a healthy person would. The family, as well as the Missing Persons of America Facebook group, have been working to spread the word and gather support in the search for him.
As the search continues in Cozumel, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to help support Solomon’s wife, Mimi, who has been through a lot in recent years, battling cancer and now dealing with her husband’s disappearance. They are asking for tips to be sent to the Cozumel police and for people in the U.S. to continue sharing the story to raise awareness. Local authorities and the community in Cozumel have been supportive and helpful as the family navigates this difficult time in their search for Solomon. Despite efforts and support, there have been no significant developments in locating him.
The family remains optimistic and hopeful for a positive outcome in finding Solomon. They continue to search tirelessly in Cozumel, following up on any leads, no matter how small. Miller has shared updates on social media, detailing their search efforts and thanking everyone who has provided support. The community in Cozumel and in the United States has rallied around the family, offering help and spreading the word about Solomon’s disappearance. The family is committed to not giving up until they find their beloved patriarch and bring him home safely.
