Episode 123 Maereg Tesfaye Tafesse
Maereg Tesfaye Tafesse came to the Unites States in 2012 to further his education, attending college in Worcester, MA. While in the US, he became involved in helping the less fortunate. He often worked to help people find food and shelter, and Maereg's work led him to the west coast to California, and to the Seattle, Washington area. Then, without warning, in March 2018, he stopped communicating with his mother, Legawork Assefa, who was back home in Ethiopia. After that, Maereg vanished.
Legawork has traveled to the US in an effort to find her son, and has enlisted the help of private investigators, and despite possible clues and sightings, Maereg remains missing. In this episode, Legawork discusses her son's case and the challenges of trying to find him when an ocean, and thousands of miles, separates her home from the area where Maereg was last seen.
At the time Maereg vanished, he was 24 yrs old, and described at a Black male, standing 6ft-6ft2, and weighing 158-165 pounds. He has Tattoos on left hand with the symbols of flying birds. Maereg has prints, and DNA on record along with a Namus file.
Anyone who may have information relating to the whereabouts of Maereg can contact Legawork via email at legaworka@gmail.com or on Whatsapp at +251911231194.
