Late autumn 2022 saw growing concern for 65-year-old Rodolfo Salinas of Stamford, Connecticut, a painter known for his thick mustache and habitual hat. He is described as between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 10 inches, 180 to 200 pounds, with black hair (partially balding), brown eyes, a scar on his left forearm and a partial tattoo on his left wrist. The last confirmed sighting was November 25, 2022, at about 11:45 a.m. in Stamford; he spoke by phone to a friend that evening at about 7:00 p.m., and his phone was apparently turned off after that. His niece reported him missing on January 14, 2023, saying she had no information about where he might have gone.

Rodolfo was believed to be driving an older brown Chevrolet Blazer with New York plate GPR2750. Investigators noted he was from Chihuahua, Mexico, and owned property in Seward, Kansas. Reports mention a history of alcohol problems and that he may have left after owing money to some people. A troubling development: his credit card was used in Poughkeepsie, New York, between December 20 and December 22, 2022, by two unknown males who have not been identified.

Does anyone in Stamford, Poughkeepsie, Seward, Kansas, or with knowledge of the brown Blazer or those December transactions have information that could help locate Rodolfo?
