Jose Angel Frias, 51, was last seen in Albuquerque on May 15, 2021; family members had not had contact with him since March of that year. Details about his last known movements, location, or clothing are not available, which has made reconstructing a timeline difficult.

Described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 6 inches and about 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, Frias has several identifying tattoos: praying hands on his left forearm and additional tattoos on his abdomen, back, chest, and left finger. The Albuquerque Police Department opened an investigation and the case was entered into national missing persons databases; the FBI became involved and law enforcement has asked the public for information.

The investigation remains active and the family continues to seek answers about his whereabouts. If anyone has information about Jose Frias’s movements in early 2021 or has seen him after May 15, 2021, please contact the Albuquerque Police Department.
