Last seen in Loveland, Colorado, 41-year-old Jance Varela lived in the Fort Collins area. His mother Linda Varela Adams says he had a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on vital organs.

Just before she last spoke with him, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and she is asking desperately for the public’s help in finding him.

[…]

Jance Varela has a serious medical condition called tuberous sclerosis, which causes tumors on his internal organs and requires regular monitoring.

“They told us … these tumors grow on vital organs, and if left unchecked, they take over the organ,” Adams said.

In May, Varela learned he had a brain tumor, already impacting his arms and hands.

[…]

Adams said her son had been staying on friends’ couches around Fort Collins after losing his own apartment last year. He last spoke to his mother on May 26.

[…]

Adams filed a missing person report in July. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Department said without evidence anything happened to Varela, they can’t actively search for him. So, she turned to social media, which she had never used before.

Jance Varela

• Loveland, Colorado
• Went Missing: June 2022
• Status: Pending

Jance Varela, 41, has a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on vital organs. He spoke with his mother before he went missing, telling her he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which his mother believes could be impairing his judgment.

A Larimer County spokesperson told the Loveland Reporter-Herald that there’s no indication a crime has been committed in his case, and it’s possible that Varela is “where he wants to be” and just not letting his family know. While the sheriff’s office has opened a missing persons file, the newspaper reported that the department isn’t actively searching for him. However, in the months since Jance Varela’s disappearance, his mother has gained the support of people worldwide, including a group called Justice Takes Flight, according to the Reporter-Herald. Linda Varela Adams says her son’s personality is “bigger than life,” and he always has a smile on his face.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Jance Varela is asked to please contact the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office at 970-498-5100.
