Luis Contreras, a 56-year-old migrant farm laborer, vanished near Roundhill, Virginia after being seen walking from the migrant worker barracks in the 35200-block of Harry Byrd Highway on November 15, 1987. By the morning of November 16 he had not been seen, and a check of his room found all personal effects untouched, a detail that suggested he had not planned to leave.

Contreras was described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 133 to 140 pounds, with brown eyes and graying black hair. He had a known heart condition and was believed to be wearing blue jeans and black cowboy boots when last seen. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation; the case later moved to the Cold Case Unit and remains open.

Very few leads emerged and no trace of Contreras has been found. Does anyone who lived or worked around Hill High Orchards in November 1987 remember seeing him or recall any detail that could help the investigation?
