Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9046) and 6 other sources
Carlos Humberto Gonzalez, a 43-year-old man, was last seen on May 1, 1993, in Waco, Texas. At the time of his disappearance, Carlos, who stood 5'7" and weighed 140 pounds, was dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and required regular care for his condition. He has a notable U.S. Marine Corps tattoo on his left shoulder, a distinguishing mark that might help in his identification. It is also possible that he had facial hair, such as a mustache, beard, or goatee.

Despite being missing for many years, there are few details about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. His case is classified as endangered due to his medical condition, and no new leads have emerged since he was last seen. The case is still open, and authorities continue to seek any information that could help locate Carlos. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Laredo Police Department have been involved in the investigation, but the lack of substantial information has made the case difficult to resolve.

Anyone with potential information is encouraged to contact the authorities to assist in the ongoing investigation into Carlos's whereabouts.
