This is like the perfect storm of the most frustrating disappearance factors - a truck stop (where lots of people are always coming and going, likely no one really paying attention to anyone else) plus a history of disappearing plus the fact that we're only being told now, nearly two months later. Azia could literally be anywhere with anyone.

That's according to a post on the Torrington Police Department Facebook page. The post says the probe into the disappearance of 33-year-old Azia Saldana has turned up some useful information over the past few days, but investigators still don't have firm evidence on her location, status, or well-being. The department is working with other agencies on the case.

The post says the longer she is missing, the greater the concern is for her safety. A previous post by the Torrington PD said that as of a few days ago police had not seen any evidence that there was criminal intent involved in her disappearance. At that time police were saying they had reason to believe she might be in the Denver area. the latest post doesn't say whether that is still the case.

Lisa Castro and her husband of Torrington last reportedly saw their only child on August 26, 2023 when she left their home on foot to play CowboySkills games at the Western Travel Terminal located on east highway 26 in Torrington.

“There has been a lot of information stating it is believed that Azia went to Colorado but there has been no proof or confirmed sightings of her there,” Private Investigator, Stacy Koester said. “At this time, there hasn’t been one confirmed sightings, just rumors and speculation.”

“We have sent down flyers with contact information and are looking at preparing a feet-on-the-ground search. Any persons interested in assisting with this can reach out to me at (307) 299-6710. It needs to be known that anyone joining the search needs to be clean as well as we will not allow people on drugs to help us search,” Koester said.

“She’s never told us where she goes, and she always comes back with Dylan,” Castro said. “Miraculously, she appears with Dylan, disappears with Dylan and reappears with Dylan. That’s why I can’t believe she hasn’t contacted him.“

When asked about the last time anyone had heard from Azia Saldana, Johnson said providing that information could potentially “damage the investigation.” He said they do not have any evidence that she’s the victim of a crime, but are “very concerned” about her safety.

Koester said Road Warriors for the Missing is working on a segment on Azia Saldana and the investigation will be featured on NewsNation soon. Meanwhile, she and the RWM team are doing everything they can to assist in the search by sharing her photos and information on social media.
