Jan Alexander Cadena-Urenda, known as Alex, was 18 when he disappeared from the Cedar Creek/Bastrop area of Texas. He is described as Hispanic/Latino, about 5 feet 7 inches and 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Public reports say he was last known to be in Bastrop on December 6, 2021; that night he dropped a friend off and was expected to return home but never arrived and his family has had no contact since.

On December 7 his gray 2010 Mercury Milan with distinctive purple rims and Texas plate RCS5182 was found wrecked in rural Kyle. Surveillance footage reportedly shows him leaving the crash scene on foot, and that image is widely described as the last confirmed sighting. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, black shorts, and black Champion sandals. Few other details have been released publicly about what happened after he left the vehicle.

Jan’s disappearance remains an unresolved missing-person case listed by the Texas Department of Public Safety Missing Persons Bulletin. If anyone has credible information about his whereabouts or the December 6–7 movements, please contact the Texas Department of Public Safety Missing Persons Clearinghouse.
