Jeronimo Mendoza Rico was 25 when he left his Rochester, New York, home on August 21, 1994, after a distressing phone call with his girlfriend and was never seen again. He’s described as White and Hispanic, with black hair, brown eyes and a mustache. At the time he vanished he was wearing a blue jacket with Alpine on the back, a red short-sleeved shirt, camel-colored jeans and white sneakers.

Family members did not report him missing until March 1, 1995; the Rochester Police Department filed an official missing person report on March 21, 1995. That six-month gap before a formal report was submitted has been a longstanding complication in efforts to retrace his last known movements.

Very few details have emerged about what happened after he walked away from that phone call, and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Jeronimo, saw him in Rochester after August 21, 1994, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
