Alec Baldwin's whereabouts are unknown to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department at this time. However, he has been in touch and is fully cooperating with the investigation, sheriff Adan Mendoza said in a press conference on Wednesday.

"He has been cooperative. I’m not exactly sure of his present whereabouts," Mendoza said.
