Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP53386)
Arcenio Lopez Soto, a 19-year-old from Laredo, Texas, went missing on February 12, 2017. His disappearance remains a mystery, and the case has yet to be solved. Details surrounding his last known whereabouts are limited, and little information has surfaced regarding potential leads or witnesses. Despite the efforts of his family and authorities, there has been no significant breakthrough in locating Arcenio.

Arcenio was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NAMUS), but investigative progress has been slow. Like many other missing persons cases, the lack of immediate clues has turned the case cold over time. Community efforts and public awareness campaigns have continued to seek information, but the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. Given the ongoing nature of the investigation, anyone with potential knowledge has been encouraged to come forward to aid in the search for answers.
