Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3359) and 2 other sources
Alzo Albarez was a 20-year-old Black / African American male who went missing from West Haven, Connecticut, on June 9, 2003. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as having black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing jeans with a white stitch design and a fitted baseball cap with a Clippers 76ers logo. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unknown.

For over two decades, the case of Alzo Albarez has remained cold, with very few leads to indicate what might have happened to him. Despite initial efforts, Albarez was not located. The lack of available photos or a more detailed description has presented significant challenges to the investigation over the years. His case is a painful reminder of the silent anguish that families of the missing endure, holding onto hope while grappling with the uncertainty of their loved one's fate.

In early February 2025, the West Haven Police Department's Detective Division announced that they had received new information regarding Albarez's cold case. This development has prompted a renewed public appeal for assistance. Authorities are specifically reaching out to family, friends, or neighbors who may have known Alzo Albarez and could possess information, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The overview of this case is one of a long and frustrating search for answers, with the recent emergence of new information offering a glimmer of hope that resolution may finally be possible for Alzo and his family. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Timothy Healey at 860-593-5703.
