Venezuelan Man Hunt in the U.S.?

Maybe. I spotted this weird poster taped to a light pole in Chicago's downtown, near Dearborn and Adams on Friday, Sept. 28. If you've seen this guy, you're urged to contact the Venezuelan consulate near you. Jose Gregorio was last seen in Ohio "with two Russian females." Hmmm.

There's something weird and intriguing about this poster.

Most "missing person" posters that are put up by friends or family offer a reward, or urge you to call the police or FBI.

Few "missing person" posters - at least the ones you see in Chicago - involve a guy who is apparently a Venezuelan national who was last seen at an amusement park with two Russian women.

Few "missing person" posters urge us to contact the Venezuelan consulate.

Questions arise: Is this a poster from the Venezuelan consulate? Who, exactly, is trying to find this guy? Note that the poster does not actually say that he is missing. The party that made this poster simply asks us if we've seen this guy. Why? And if he is missing person, do the FBI and local authorities in Ohio know about it? Let's hope this guy - and those two Russian females - are okay. Let's also hope that this not some weird Venezuelan manhunt in the U.S.
