Wade Taylor, a 38-year-old Marine Corps veteran, was last seen on May 6, 2017, in Alamogordo, New Mexico. On that day, Wade visited the Otero County Detention Center, asking for help and water, claiming someone was chasing him. He was injured, dressed only in his underwear, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. Despite his pleas for help, Wade left the detention center on his own and was never seen again.
Wade had served in Afghanistan before being honorably discharged in 2004, and his military background has been noted in the investigation. His family and authorities have long suspected foul play in his disappearance, as he had no history of disappearing, and no trace of him has been found since. Authorities have sent evidence to crime labs, but no further details have been released to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
Wade is described as 5'11" tall, weighing 265 pounds, with black hair and hazel eyes. He had several tattoos, including a Grim Reaper on his right forearm, a dragon on his right arm, and a Marine Corps emblem on his left arm. His case remains unsolved, and his family continues to seek answers.Last Seen: May 6, 2017
