Stamford Police Search for 24-Year-Old Who Went Missing on Christmas Eve

Stamford police are looking for a 24-year-old who never returned home from a night out with friends on Christmas Eve.

Paulino Mendoza was out with friends on the evening of Dec. 24, but his family hasn't seen him since and his phone hasn't been used since then, police said.

The family told police that they are concerned about his well-being and said that it's uncharacteristic of him not to come home for so long.

Stamford police have spent the last two days searching for him in the east side of Stamford, including Cove Island Park. Tracking dogs and Westchester County's aviation unit assisted in the search, but he is still nowhere to be found.

Police are asking the community to keep an eye out.
