- Details of Disappearance:
- On June 19, 2009, Soto disappeared. He left work in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during his lunch break, driving his red 2002 Chevy Tahoe (license plate 502PJC). He told his wife he was collecting money from a friend.
Later that day, he was seen getting into a gray lowrider pickup truck with black rims in Valencia County. His SUV was found abandoned on Pajarito Mesa in Valencia County, but there were no clues. His cell phone last showed activity at 11:30 a.m.
Police talked to the friend Soto was supposed to meet; the friend said he paid Soto and isn’t involved. Soto, who owned an auto detailing business and raised racehorses, was a family man and never left without telling anyone. His disappearance is mysterious, and police suspect foul play. He’s never been found.
