Conrado Cortez Rueda was 25 when he was last seen in Santa Maria, California, on October 11, 2001. He vanished without a trace and has not been located since.

Rueda is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 145 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. At the time he disappeared he was wearing a white t-shirt, gray jeans, and a silver chain with a Christ medallion. He had a distinctive tattoo on his left upper arm of a woman’s face with the name Cristina.

Investigators have classified him as endangered missing and the Santa Maria Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in Santa Maria in October 2001 recognize Conrado or the tattoo described?
