Alexander AJ Silva III, 19, was last seen April 5, 2021, in Houston while on pretrial GPS monitoring. His family reported him missing after his ankle monitor stopped transmitting a signal a few days after that last sighting; the final ping placed him near a warehouse in northwest Houston. Reports say there were gaps in the monitoring that allowed him to vanish without a trace.

Silva’s family has pursued their own inquiries alongside law enforcement, staging protests and social media campaigns and providing dental records to authorities. In 2023 skeletal remains were found in an abandoned building and the family is awaiting confirmation whether those remains are AJ’s. The Houston Police Department continues to list the case as open.

If anyone saw AJ around northwest Houston in early April 2021 or has information about the warehouse area or gaps in GPS monitoring, please share what is known with investigators.
