A miracle occurred in the Caribbean Sea last month. Elvis Francois, a Dominican guy who had been adrift at sea for about a month, was found. When the weather deteriorated, the 47-year-old was working on his boat near St. Maarten. He knew he had no choice but to wait and make do with what he had since he was unable to contact his buddies. He claimed at the time, "I had no food, just a bottle of ketchup that was on the boat, garlic powder, and Maggi [soup]." Heinz is currently searching for him in the hopes of purchasing a new boat after hearing his tale of surviving on ketchup.
When the American company's search for the man came to a standstill, they resorted to social media, an organisation that has successfully located elusive individuals in the past. Heinz begged for assistance in locating the alleged "ketchup boat guy" in an Instagram "message in a bottle." The Heinz team responded, recounting Francois' accomplishment, "We need your help tracking down an amazing man with an amazing story." "Well, Heinz wants to assist him in purchasing a new boat and celebrate his safe return home. However, we are unable to locate him.

The hunt is still ongoing as of a week after the initial statement requesting assistance from the internet was posted. Since their initial appeal, Heinz has uploaded two new pictures: one clarifies that they have contacted the Dominican government and the Colombian Navy, who saved Francois, and another explains that he might be in any of the island's eighteen municipalities and fifty-three villages. Numerous impersonators have approached them, but Francois has not. Heinz isn't giving up, though. The business claims, "We know he's still out there."

Some Dominican critics have noted that the nation is presently celebrating Carnival as the quest continues. They might therefore have better luck on the first day of Lent. "Excellent call out! In response to one post, Heinz added a sad face emoji and said, "We'll find him Wednesday."
