Albuquerque Police Seek Public Help in Search for Missing Man
Community Urged to Assist in Finding Adam Cordero
The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) is calling on the community for assistance in the search for 29-year-old Adam Cordero, who has been missing since December 8, 2025. Cordero was last seen near the busy intersection of Paseo del Norte and Interstate 25, a critical area known for heavy traffic and commercial activity.
Details of the Disappearance
According to police reports, Cordero was driving a Chevrolet Malibu and was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and a black baseball cap at the time of his disappearance. As of December 19, he has been missing for nearly 10 days. The APD is urging anyone with information about Cordero’s whereabouts to come forward.
Significance of the Location
The intersection of Paseo del Norte and I-25 is not only a key transport hub in Albuquerque but also connects to various residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. This location’s busy nature may lead to potential witnesses who could provide valuable insights into Cordero’s last known movements.
Missing Persons Trends in Albuquerque
Albuquerque has seen a rise in missing persons cases, with APD managing numerous reports each year. Factors contributing to these cases include urban sprawl and a transient population. Recent cases, such as that of Joel ‘Deano’ Valdez, highlight the challenges faced by local authorities in locating missing individuals amid these dynamics.
The Role of the Community in Search Efforts
Community involvement plays a crucial role in the success of missing persons investigations. APD has established protocols for public engagement, including alerts through local media and social media platforms. Historically, tips from the public have proven essential, especially within the first 48 hours of a disappearance. Organizations like Crime Stoppers also offer anonymous reporting options for those wishing to assist without revealing their identities.
