The family of Adrian Valles last saw him Oct. 2 when he was leaving for work. They say he did not take anything with him besides what he normally takes to work, and is not responding to calls or texts.

Bumping up for Adrian and his family. I can't find any updates online.

Adrian also goes by the name Andre Lucio Valles as noted in this 2016 arrest for probation violation, domestic battery, and failure to pay fines. I suppose the unpaid fines could be from his arrest in 2015 when he was charged with false imprisonment after an incident in which he attacked a woman with refried beans.

Oh. Well maybe having a child, he has changed.

Well now my questions are:
Did he leave for work on foot, or has his vehicle also gone missing? Was it typical for him to leave on foot? Are there other locations (cities) he has ties to and thought to possibly have gone? Maybe went to stay with friends? How much did LE look into things like video footage near his home and phone pings, interviewing co-workers and friends...

ETA: Original ETA DBM.

Bumping up case. He's still listed in NamUs so I assume is still missing...

Bumping up one more time. He's still listed in NamUs.

I don't mean to be insensitive to his family but thinking of possibilities, if he is still missing. Any exclusions for John Does?

There are the following from NM, but they would be unlikely matches, IMO:

NamUs UP91609: A male found in Alamagordo in 2021. Age range 25 - 52.

UP91610: A male found in Playas in 2022. Age range 30 - 55. Suspected migrant from Mexico.

UP102728: Listed as Male but described as Female, so needs correction somewhere. Found in Albuquerque, adult, est. 5'6" Black hair, brown eyes. But no tattoos are noted.

UP133623: Male found in La Mesa in 2024. Adult, 5'3" - 5'5". Says skeletal remains but then lists an eye color (pink), which needs clarification/correction.
