The San Benito County Sheriff’s Office is looking for clues after a 24-year-old Aromas man’s family reported him as missing.
A sheriff’s office statement released Thursday noted that authorities are looking for Nelson Hardy, whose family resides in the 300 block of Carr Avenue in Aromas.
His family reported that he ran from the house after becoming agitated in a conversation with his mother. He left behind his car and had worn blue jeans, boots and no shirt, with a navy blue sweatshirt in his hand.
Family, friends and sheriff’s deputies, along with search and rescue volunteers, have searched the 25-acre property without finding him or any of his personal property. The sheriff’s office could not locate him through his cell phone because the phone carrier said it had been turned off or the battery was dead.
Anyone with information should call the sheriff’s office at (831) 636-4080 or the tip line at 636-4084.
