I am a writer currently seeking a skilled researcher to uncover Puerto Rican newspaper articles about an incident that took place on May 30th, 1999. On that day, Francis Reyes, a 34-year-old guide, was leading a group on a commercial caving expedition in Cueva Angeles. The group encountered a sudden rise in water levels within the cave's stream passage. Elba Vasquez Gonzales, one of the clients, was unable to escape to safety and got trapped by the floodwaters. Reyes heroically attempted to rescue her and managed to save her life, but tragically, he was carried away by the strong current and lost his life.
This event was covered by several news outlets, with one article titled ‘Era un experto en las Cuevas’ by Julio Ghigliotty, published in El Nuevo Día on June 1st, 1999. However, I have not been successful in locating this article or any others from Puerto Rican sources.
Possible sources that may have covered the event include the San Juan Star, El Mundo, and El Vocero. I am specifically looking for articles from Puerto Rican publications and not interested in coverage from non-Puerto Rican news sources.
Key Responsibilities:
- Undertake a detailed search for articles in newspaper archives, online databases, or microfilm concerning the tragic death of Francis Reyes.
**The ideal candidate will possess:**
- Fluency in both Spanish and English, with strong translation skills.
- A proven track record in research and article sourcing.
- Experience in accessing archived articles from Puerto Rican newspapers.
Your expertise and dedication to this project will be highly valued.
