HE DISAPPEARED WHILE WORKING DOORDASH — THEN HIS CAR WAS FOUND ON FIRE

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CARLOS REYES
Danbury, Connecticut — March 29, 2022

Carlos Reyes was only 20 years old when he vanished while working as a DoorDash driver.

Family and friends describe Carlos as hardworking, humble, and constantly on the move trying to make money. He spent long hours driving through Danbury, Waterbury, and Naugatuck completing delivery orders and doing what he could to build a future for himself.

On March 29, 2022, Carlos was out making deliveries like usual.

At some point during the night, all contact with him stopped.

No more calls.
No more messages.
No explanation.

Then the situation became even more disturbing.

The following night, investigators discovered Carlos’s gray 2008 Infiniti abandoned and burned on Old Milltown Road in Brewster, New York — just over the Connecticut state line.

Someone had intentionally set the vehicle on fire.

Authorities immediately suspected foul play.

Investigators now believe Carlos may have encountered someone in Danbury and was possibly robbed and killed before his vehicle was driven into New York and burned in an attempt to destroy evidence.

Days later, law enforcement expanded their search efforts.

On April 7, 2022, authorities searched a pond near Ball Pond Road and Pondcrest Road in Danbury hoping to find evidence connected to Carlos’s disappearance.

Nothing was recovered.

No remains.
No confirmed suspects.
No answers.

More than three years later, Carlos Reyes is still missing.

His family continues living with the agony of uncertainty — not knowing where he is, what happened to him, or who is responsible for his disappearance.

Carlos was 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed approximately 170 pounds at the time he vanished.

For the people who love him, silence has become its own kind of torture.

Someone knows what happened after Carlos made those final deliveries.
Someone knows why his car was burned..... The Vivid Faces of the Vanished

This story is sad & gets worse as more details emerge. 16 -year old is now back in a NC detention facing 3 counts of and felony conspiracy. So the father (victim) was allegedly getting a restraining order against the 28-yr old suspect when this tragedy struck. Word is, the poor pets at the home were killed too. Grant & Loving allegedly were at a hotel 4-5 days after the murders together. I believe the father (victim) biological daughter found their bodies. -
