Armando Ponce was 21 when he was last seen on May 13, 2013, in Rancho Cordova, California. He told family he was going to meet people in Woodland, about 35 miles away, but did not say who he was meeting. He has not been heard from since.

At the time he disappeared Ponce was on parole and is wanted for a parole violation, which has complicated the case. Family members say his sudden absence was uncharacteristic. He has several distinctive tattoos: the name Maria and praying hands on his right forearm, a portrait of his father on his chest, and Ponce on his upper back.

His disappearance is considered suspicious and remains unsolved. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.
