/
On Christmas day, a young adult named Rachel Caprari was seen for the last time by her family. “Hey, my sister Rachel has been missing since Monday (December 27, 2021). The last my family and I saw her was on Christmas day. Please feel free to call/text (914-482-4624) or email (caprariiris@gmail.com) if you have any information," Iris Caprari wrote on Facebook, according to a Hudson Valley Post article. The article also includes other young people who have recently gone missing in New York.
Since then, Brian Caprari has posted the flyer the family printed out to help find Rachel: “We’re printing this out and putting it up everywhere, but please share if you can. Thanks again for everyone’s help,” the flyer reads.
On lampposts in Beacon, the flyer is taped, just after the Fishkill Police have put out a Missing Person flyer labeling Rachel and “Endangered Missing Person.”
According to her LinkedIn profile: “I'm a Geriatric Social Worker looking for part-time or full-time employment. I graduated from Marist College, where I earned my Bachelor's in Social Work. I live in Beacon, NY.”
According to LinkedIn, Rachel had worked as a counselor at Camp Herrlich, a recreation aid at Wingate Healthcare, and as as social worker for the Pines at Poughkeepsie.
At the Pines at Poughkeepsie, she completed responsibilities including taking intakes, assessments, one-to-one counseling, care conferences, care planning, interdisciplinary coordination, progress notes, discharge, advanced care directives, and auditing for the state survey.
As a Recreation Aide at Wingate at Dutchess, she facilitated activities for seniors, in groups and on a one-to-one basis. She ran cognitive games, art programs (crafts, watercolor painting, holiday projects, etc.), music therapy, light exercise, discussion and reminiscence, coffee socials, spa days, and special events. Other duties included escorting residents, cleaning, moving furniture, and doing paperwork, according to her LinkedIn.
According to the fliers, Rachel was last seen at her apartment complex at Olde Post Mall. She is 30 years old, and 5’4” weighing 140lbs. Her hair is red and she wears glasses. She is believed to still be in the Mid Hudson Valley, especially the counties of Dutchess, Putnam, Orange and Ulster. She is known to frequent the Mount Beacon area and may be in wooded areas near Fishkill/Beacon, or on trails in Parks.
