Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51781) and 6 other sources
Tony Jhon Pineda, a 23-year-old man, was last seen on October 7, 2001, in Dallas, Texas. Tony, who was legally blind, had been experiencing signs of depression and disorientation around the time of his disappearance. He stood 5'2" tall, weighed around 130 pounds, and had distinctive physical features, including one blue eye and one green eye, scars above his right eye and on the top of his head, and a mole under his left eye. He also may have been sporting facial hair at the time.

Tony’s family has been searching for answers ever since he went missing. His case is particularly concerning given his disability and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. There were reports that his relationship with his wife, with whom he was living at the time, was troubled. In fact, there were claims of toxic behavior, which have raised concerns about foul play. Despite these worrying signs, there have been no significant leads or developments in the case over the years.

Authorities, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, continue to treat Tony’s case as an endangered missing person, and his family remains hopeful for new information that might bring closure. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement.
