Manuel Valentino-Franc Molina, known to some as Tino, was 20 when he disappeared from Catalina, Arizona. He was last seen April 9, 2018, near north Bowman Road and east Whitehill Way. Manuel is described as a Hispanic male, 6 feet tall, about 160 pounds, with short buzzed black hair and brown eyes. He had multiple tattoos, including stars on each elbow, the name Ashton over his heart, alchemy symbols on both forearms, and a Cheshire cat on his ribcage.

At the time he went missing Manuel lived with friends in Catalina and worked at a local McDonald’s. He was the primary caregiver for his two-year-old son. A friend who became worried contacted Manuel’s mother in Willcox, and his mother reported him missing to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on April 17, 2018. Investigators treated the disappearance as suspicious and the sheriff’s homicide unit took the case. Family and friends say Manuel would not have voluntarily abandoned his son or cut off contact.

Very little public information has been released and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone in the Catalina or Willcox area see Manuel around April 9, 2018, or have information that could help locate him?
