Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2799) and 6 other sources
Adan Velasco, an 18-year-old from Austin, Texas, went missing on May 2, 2007. He was last seen in the 4800 block of Russet Hill Drive, East Austin. At the time of his disappearance, Adan stood 5'9" tall and weighed about 140 pounds. He has a distinctive tattoo on his abdomen, which features a shield with his initials "AV" and the number 88. He was possibly traveling with a white Maltese dog, and there have been suggestions that he may have traveled to Chicago, Illinois.

Adan suffers from a mental illness, which may have made him vulnerable or in need of medical attention at the time he went missing. Despite various efforts to locate him, including age-progression images and public appeals, few concrete leads have surfaced over the years. His family and authorities continue to seek information, and his case remains open as an unsolved disappearance.
