Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17670) and 4 other sources
Armando Cano, 34, was last seen on May 23, 2010, at his trailer home in San Ysidro, California. The night before, he had gone out with his girlfriend to some local nightclubs, and they returned to his home. She left at 4:00 a.m., but when she attempted to contact him later that morning, he did not respond. Concerned, she and Cano’s brother went to check on him and found his trailer in disarray, with the door open and bloodstains present. His car was still at the location, but there was no sign of him.

Investigators initially believed Cano may have fallen victim to a violent crime, given the state of his trailer. There were rumors suggesting he might have been killed in Mexico, but these claims remain unsubstantiated. Cano’s case has been extensively investigated, yet no significant evidence has emerged to confirm what happened to him. His disappearance is still considered suspicious, and authorities continue to seek any information that might provide answers.

If you have any information related to his disappearance, you are encouraged to contact the San Diego Police Department.
