Everardo Lopez Juarez was 16 when he disappeared from Culpeper, Virginia. He was last seen on August 9, 2018, wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. Described as a Hispanic male with black hair (shaved on the sides, longer on top), brown eyes, about five feet tall and 150 pounds, he was known to wear contact lenses.

Everardo had been staying with a cousin and reportedly packed a travel bag with all his belongings before leaving. He left a note saying he did not want to go to school and wanted to work to help his family in Guatemala, which suggests he may have left intentionally. He had previously spent time at Lincoln Hall Boys Haven, a juvenile center in New York, after entering the United States.

The case remains open with the Culpeper Police Department. If anyone knew Everardo, saw him after August 9, 2018, or has information about his travel or whereabouts, please contact investigators.
