Jose Farfan Missing Person Case

Jose Farfan, age 36, was last seen on April 26, 1976, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His disappearance has been the subject of various investigations and controversies over the years. According to reports, Farfan was allegedly involved in a case where two Albuquerque police officers, Robert Earl Davis and Robert Todd Hobson, were implicated in his murder. Farfan had been taken into police custody on misdemeanor charges, but after his release, it is believed the officers kidnapped him, drove him to a remote location in the Sandia Mountains, and killed him. His body was left in an arroyo, and there were claims of foul play and a cover-up by the Albuquerque Police Department.

The case remained unsolved for decades, but in 2016, Farfan’s family filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging wrongful death and a cover-up. The lawsuit was based on a confession from one of the officers, which indicated that Farfan had been murdered shortly after his release from custody. Despite these claims, much of the evidence related to the case had disappeared over the years, adding to the complexity of the investigation. The case has drawn attention due to its connections to police corruption and alleged cover-ups in the 1970s.
Last Seen: Apr 26, 1976
