On May 2025, 78-year old retired Los Alamos National Laboratory employee vanished from his home in the Denver Steels neighborhood. His wallet, keys, and cigarettes were on a living room table. Car locked in the driveway, no blood, no forced entry. Cadaver dogs have also returned nothing. Even his banking activity stopped after May 5th. The lead detective is quoted saying, "It was just like he left." This case has received two weeks of local blog coverage and then went silent. No regional news follow-up. No coverage from any outlet outside of Los Alamos.
