Velda Leyba, 39, of Albuquerque was last seen December 6, 1992, the night of her daughter’s birthday. She had called earlier saying she was leaving a friend’s house in the South Valley to come celebrate but never arrived and has not been heard from since. At the time she was driving a light blue 1987 Chrysler LeBaron.

The car turned up abandoned on February 25, 1993, near Interstate 25 and Isleta Boulevard with Velda’s personal items, including her purse, still inside. Velda was also seen at a house on Wheeler Street that later became the scene of another disappearance: friend Lisa Duncan went missing from that same address five months after Velda vanished and Duncan’s remains were ultimately recovered.

A confidential informant in 2011 alleged both women were killed in the Wheeler Street house, and investigators later searched the property, finding old blood on carpeting that had not been replaced since the disappearances. Velda remains an endangered missing person and her case is unsolved. Does anyone with knowledge of Velda, that Chrysler LeBaron, or the Wheeler Street address have information to share?
