Horacio Calderon Alvidrez Missing Person Case

Horacio Calderon Alvidrez was 41 years old when he disappeared from New Westminster, British Columbia, on June 4, 2020. The Canadian national missing-person record identifies Horacio as a male who was born in 1978 and states that he was last seen while moving out of his residence in New Westminster. After that day, there were no confirmed reports that he had been seen or heard from again. The circumstances surrounding the move are not described in detail in the publicly available case information, leaving unanswered questions about where he intended to go, whether someone was helping him relocate, what possessions he took with him, or what transportation he may have used after leaving the residence. What is clear is that June 4 became the last documented point of contact in the Canadian investigation, and his continued absence ultimately resulted in his case being entered into Canada’s national missing-person system.

Investigators have released several identifying characteristics that could help someone recognize Horacio even years after his disappearance. He was described as approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 170 pounds, with a medium build and a light or fair complexion. He had short black hair and brown eyes. Two tattoos provided especially distinctive identifiers: a tattoo depicting a girl on his left arm and three dots tattooed on his left thumb. These permanent markings could remain important if Horacio were encountered under different circumstances or if his appearance had changed substantially with time. His Canadian missing-person file is maintained under national case reference 2020041548, while the New Westminster Police Department identifies its investigative file as case 2020-16857. The national record continued to list him as missing when the information was most recently verified, indicating that authorities had not publicly announced that he had been located.

The limited publicly released circumstances make Horacio’s disappearance particularly difficult to reconstruct. There is no detailed public timeline describing his activities earlier that day, the address from which he was moving, his intended destination, the names of anyone who may have been with him, or any confirmed sightings after he left the residence. There is likewise no public indication in the national record of a vehicle associated with his disappearance or of evidence establishing that he was the victim of a crime. In missing-person investigations such as this one, New Westminster police state that officers conduct a risk assessment focused on the missing person’s safety and well-being, gather information about physical description and the circumstances of the last sighting, and keep the investigation open until the individual has been located, identified, and their well-being assessed. Horacio’s continuing appearance in the national database therefore reflects an unresolved effort to determine what happened after he was last seen leaving his home.

One unusual aspect of the publicly available information is that another missing-person record involving the same full name has appeared in connection with Chihuahua, Mexico, creating the possibility of an international element or conflicting records surrounding Horacio’s disappearance. A Canadian missing-person research compilation specifically notes that Horacio may also be missing from Chihuahua, while the authoritative Canadian record continues to place his last confirmed sighting in New Westminster on June 4, 2020. Because the available official Canadian information does not explain that possible connection, it would be inappropriate to assume how the two records relate or to reconstruct movements between Canada and Mexico without additional evidence. What remains firmly documented is that Horacio Calderon Alvidrez, age 41, was last seen moving out of his New Westminster residence on June 4, 2020; he had short black hair, brown eyes, a medium build, and distinctive tattoos on his left arm and thumb; and no confirmed subsequent contact has been publicly reported. His case remains an enduring search for answers about where he went after leaving that residence and what circumstances prevented him from contacting those who knew him, with investigators still relying on information from anyone who may be able to help explain what happened to him.
