Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65872) and 1 other source
Arturo Lupian-Garza, age 29, was last seen on February 19, 2006, in San Mateo, California. Before his disappearance, Arturo had a verbal disagreement with his family and left without taking any personal belongings, including his cell phone. He did not own a car or have a bank account at the time, which further complicates the investigation into his whereabouts.

Since that day, Arturo has not been seen or heard from, and there have been no significant leads in his case. His family remains deeply concerned due to the sudden nature of his disappearance and his lack of personal resources. Despite efforts by law enforcement, the case remains unsolved. Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the relevant agencies in the hopes of finding new leads in this long-standing case.
