Kenneth Valdez, 52, was last seen at his Manhattan home on January 13, 2017. He left without taking any personal belongings, a detail his family described as out of character and which prompted immediate concern.

The New York City Police Department’s Missing Persons Squad opened an investigation. Authorities interviewed family, friends, and potential witnesses, and checked phone records and available surveillance, but those efforts produced no substantial leads. Family members made public appeals as the case grew colder and no new evidence emerged.

The disappearance remains unexplained and the investigation open. If anyone knew Kenneth, saw him around January 13, 2017, or has information that could help locate him, please come forward.
