Antonio Andrade Cruz, 83, was reported missing in San Diego on May 28, 2003. He was last seen between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m. leaving the residence he shared with his girlfriend at 1229 Tenth Avenue, reportedly headed to the post office at Ninth and E Street to mail bills. Cruz, also known as Tony, had difficulty walking and used a cane or walker. He is a Hispanic male with gray hair and gray eyes, 5 feet 7 inches and 170 pounds, last seen wearing a blue plaid shirt, a blue jacket, and black pants.

Several suspicious details surround the disappearance. A safe in his apartment was found missing $25,000 in cash and the person who took it apparently knew the combination; a gun kept under his bed was also missing. Ten days after he vanished, checks totaling $48,000 were cashed from his account in Mexico, payable to a non-existent sheet metal company, from an account that had held about $48,500. Someone had changed his mailing address at the post office to a non-existent San Antonio address. Border surveillance showed a person resembling Cruz in the backseat of a car with two men; the car was later seen returning to the United States without him. His case is classified as endangered missing.

Did anyone in downtown San Diego, Yuma, or Ensenada recognize Cruz or the vehicle seen at the border?
