SAN ANTONIO — A CLEAR alert has been issued for a 28-year-old San Antonio man who police say may be in danger after he disappeared early Sunday morning.
San Antonio police are searching for Adam Rodriguez, who was last seen on the city’s northeast side near Mannix Drive, not far from the airport. His wife, Ariana Flores-Rodriguez, said he left behind his work vehicle, phone and equipment before vanishing.
Flores-Rodriguez added that her husband dropped off his work items on Sunday morning while the business was closed and has not been heard from since.
“He left his work truck and his work phone, his work laptop — anything work-related that the company owed, he left,” Flores-Rodriguez said. “I believe he left with a backpack.”
Flores-Rodriguez said she and her husband had argued earlier that morning and that he had left their home around 7 a.m., turning off his phone. When he did not return, she checked their bank account and noticed an $800 withdrawal.
“I thought, OK, maybe he’s still at the bank,” she said. “It doesn’t show me what time.”
She said she drove to the bank and then to her husband’s workplace but could not find him.
Flores-Rodriguez said the disappearance is especially concerning because of her husband’s mental health. She said the couple’s oldest son died by suicide three years ago and that the holidays have been particularly difficult.
“I know he is disappointed in himself,” she said. “I know he’s upset, and I know he knows I’m upset and I’m hurt. I’m just praying that he didn’t let the enemy get in his head.”
She added that one item missing from their home stood out to her — an obituary photo of their son.
“So many people love him, we love him, his kids love him,” Flores-Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez is described as wearing a camouflage baseball hat, a tan shirt, black pants and tan crocs. No one has reported contact with him since Sunday morning. By Sunday night, a CLEAR alert was issued.
Flores-Rodriguez urged anyone who sees her husband to contact police and to remind him that he is loved.
“If you see him, hug him and don’t let him go,” she said. “He needs somebody, anybody, to tell him it’s OK and there’s always another way.”
Anyone with information on Rodriguez’s whereabouts is asked to contact San Antonio police at 210-207-7660 or call 911.
