Rafael Valles Moreno, known as Chino, was 37 when he was last seen on August 30, 1982, at the Pastime Bar in Escondido, California. He was reportedly with three Hispanic men that evening. Two days later, on September 1, 1982, Moreno’s van was found abandoned in a field in Poway.

Moreno is described as 5 feet 10 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department continues to list the case as open; few leads have emerged and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone remembers Rafael Moreno, the people he was with that night, or the van being left in Poway, please contact the sheriff’s office with information.
