Santana Ornelas Jr., 24, was last seen April 1, 1990, in Novato, California. He left home after packing his belongings and never contacted family again. At the time he had been charged with robbery in 1989 while attending Marin Junior College and missed a court date after his disappearance; a warrant was issued and authorities thought he may have fled to the Colfax area to avoid prosecution. Those charges were later dropped after the statute of limitations expired and he is no longer wanted for any crimes.

Investigators have considered that he might be living under a new identity, possibly using a different Social Security number, but no concrete evidence of his whereabouts has surfaced. His family remains deeply concerned, partly because his father’s medical condition could potentially be helped if Santana were located as a compatible kidney donor. Does anyone have information about Santana’s movements in 1990 or any sighting that could help resolve this case?
