Police: No Word on Missing Man
The trail has gone cold in the search for Lorenzo Moreno-Pacheco, a 61-year-old Burnsville man who disappeared a month ago.
A month of searching has yielded little insight into the disappearance of Lorenzo Moreno-Pacheco (also known as Lorenzo Pacheco-Orozco), a vulnerable adult who went missing on April 15. As of Thursday, the Burnsville Police Department had no signs and no leads, in spite of their efforts.
The 61-year-old was last seen around 6:30 a.m. on , near his home in southwest Burnsville. The missing man does not speak English and suffers from dementia as a result of a head injury. He stands approximately five feet, six inches and weighs about 150 pounds. He walks with a limp. He was last seen wearing black pants and a red shirt.
Over the last month, the BPD has conducted multiple searches on the air and ground, involving 12 different agencies—inlcluding the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
