Dear Travellers.

Olga here... I hope you don't mind me posting this message here. My sister Ellis Derkx has gone missing in Lima, Peru... More info below. Please have a look at this Facebook post and share if you want:

Based on what we do know: She is suffering from a severe psychosis and wandering through the streets of Lima.
We have lost all contact with her. Last thing we know is that she was on Lima Airport, but walked back into the city.
She is alone, confused and very afraid. She's loving and not harmful to others, but will resist when trying to arrest.
She is in URGENT need of mandatory medical/psychiatric care.
If seen please immediately contact the police.
Or when you have more information please let us know via helpellis@gmail.com
Please help us by sharing this to as many people as you can. You never know "who knows who".
If you know me personally, you know that, very sadly, this has happened to her before on the Philippines a few years ago.
Thanks through Facebook sharing we were able to find her just in time and so we hope we can do the same for her again this time...
Thanks so much everyone, Olga xx

You need to contact Lima police to put out a search for her, not write here where a few random people will read it. You also need to contact Lima police because she may be in their custody already. Philippines is much different. Peru is much more dangerous and being a white person does not make you special like in the Philippines, so don't think the same thing will work.
