A Mount Vernon couple has been missing for nearly two weeks after mysteriously vanishing during a vacation in the Dominican Republic, according to reports.

Family and friends are desperately searching for Orlando Moore and Portia Ravenelle, who left for the island from Newark Liberty International Airport on March 23. They were supposed to return March 27 but never did, according to NBC New York.

The couple had been staying at the all-inclusive Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa resort in the northeast town of Samana but did not check out of their hotel. They never returned their rental car and never made it onto their flight home. Their cellphones are turned off, according to the report.

“When these things happen, you always think of the worst, but we are hoping for the best,” Edith Walters, Moore’s grandmother, told the news outlet.

Ravenelle’s family is in the Dominican Republic looking for the pair.

A representative from the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic was not familiar with the missing persons case.

A Mount Vernon police spokesperson acknowledged the investigation but could not immediately provide details.
