Orlando Valdez disappeared from Cuba, New Mexico, in March 1978. He was 37 at the time, described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing roughly 140 pounds. The last confirmed sighting was in Cuba that month; after that there has been no contact, no verified sightings, and no public clues about his whereabouts.

The Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office is listed as the primary investigating agency, but the available details are very sparse. Decades have passed with little new information, leaving the case cold and his family without resolution. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unexplained.

If anyone knew Orlando, saw him in Cuba in March 1978, or has information that could help, please share what is known with the Sheriff’s Office.
