Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP162119) and 1 other source
In the early days of 2024, concern began to grow for 58-year-old Alfonso Marin Limon, a man known to his loved ones as "Poncho." The last time his family had any contact with him was around January 1, 2024. At the time, Alfonso was living in the Tacoma, Washington area. His life had presented him with challenges, and he was experiencing homelessness, finding work in various local restaurants to support himself. As days turned into weeks without a word, the silence became increasingly unsettling for those who cared for him, prompting them to seek official help in locating him.

Alfonso is described as a Hispanic or Latino male with black hair and brown eyes. He stands between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall, with a weight ranging from 195 to 205 pounds. When his family's concern reached a critical point, a cousin officially reported him missing to the Bolingbrook Police Department in Illinois on February 5, 2024. This initiated a formal investigation into his whereabouts, and his case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System to broaden the search and public awareness.

The circumstances surrounding Alfonso Limon's disappearance paint a picture of a vulnerable individual navigating a difficult period in his life. The lack of contact since the beginning of the year is out of character, according to his family, and has left them with many unanswered questions. The official investigation continues in the hope of generating new leads that might shed light on where he might be or what might have happened. The overview of this case is one of quiet concern, a family's search for a loved one who seemingly vanished from the streets of Tacoma, where he was last known to be trying to make a life for himself.
