Leroy Grado Almanza, 40, of Deming, New Mexico, was last seen March 8, 2017. That morning his father saw him at his apartment and a family member reportedly saw him later on Hood Road. A half-eaten hamburger was found inside the apartment, which family members said was out of character because Leroy did not typically leave food unfinished. His family reported him missing on March 14.

At the time he disappeared Leroy was involved with drugs and was associating with people his family considered dangerous, though his family remained in regular contact and provided for his basic needs. He resisted efforts by his parents to enter addiction treatment. He was last seen wearing a dark blue t-shirt, blue jeans, black Lugz shoes, and a black sports watch. Distinctive tattoos include a woman’s face on his left arm and the letters LA on his chest.

Authorities have worked with the family and Deming Crime Stoppers offered a reward for information leading to an arrest or resolution. The case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Leroy’s movements around March 8, 2017, or saw him on Hood Road that day, please come forward with information.
