Zachary Joshua Menkin, 22, was last seen in Cedar Park, Texas on May 23, 2022, and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Menkin was described as a White male, standing at 6'2" tall and weighing approximately 230 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Few details surrounding the specific circumstances of his disappearance have been made available to the public. The Texas Department of Public Safety is listed as the investigating agency for his case.
Information that has surfaced since his disappearance indicates that Menkin was in a relationship with Katiuscia Torres Soares, also known as Kat Torres, a Brazilian influencer who has faced legal issues. Reports describe Menkin and Torres as having lived a transient lifestyle, traveling across the United States in a van with several animals. In 2020, Menkin, who was 11 years younger than Torres, married her.
Subsequent investigations into Katiuscia Torres Soares on charges including human trafficking have brought some attention to her connection with Menkin. It has been reported that Menkin was allegedly responsible for transporting women who were purportedly being exploited by Torres. Additionally, financial transactions related to Torres's activities were reportedly made using a credit card in Zachary Menkin's name. Following Torres's arrest, there were reports of Menkin starting an online fundraiser for his living expenses. Despite these connections and the public nature of Torres's legal proceedings, the direct reasons for Zachary Menkin's disappearance on May 23, 2022, remain officially undisclosed.Last Seen: May 23, 2022
