Missing Since: 2012-05-01 Location: San Jose, California
Cordova was last seen in San Jose, California early in the morning on May 1, 2012. He told his family he was going out for a walk, and never returned home. He has never been heard from again. Cordova had been stabilized on his medications for years before his disappearance, but he still hallucinated and had been known to wander off. He frequently went for walks and went to the movies in the San Jose area. He went missing two weeks before his disappearance, but was found by the police in Tracy, California after a few hours. Cordova didn’t take his cellular phone with him when he left, but he may have had $80 in cash. He doesn’t drive and uses public transportation to get around. His case remains unsolved.
