Juan Manuel De La Torre Reyes was 24 when he vanished from Yuma, Arizona, around January 1, 1988. The exact date and circumstances are unclear; the last known information suggests he may have been in the process of crossing the border, possibly into Mexico, when he disappeared. His case is open with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

Juan stood about six feet tall, slim at roughly 155 to 170 pounds, with brown eyes and black wavy hair about an inch long. He had a mustache and beard, scars on his left forearm and forehead, and a distinctive tattoo on his upper back of two red roses with the name Lupita. In 2017 his two sisters provided DNA samples to national databases to aid identification efforts.

Few details are known about what he was wearing or carrying when last seen. If anyone has information about Juan’s movements around early January 1988 or recalls seeing someone matching his description near Yuma, please come forward.
