Efren Ramirez Sandoval was 14 when he went missing on January 10, 1983, near the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego, California. He was last seen attempting to cross the Tijuana River into the United States and was swept away by strong currents. His body has never been recovered and he is presumed to have drowned.

Efren was a Hispanic male about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed between 145 and 165 pounds at the time. He had a tattoo on his left inner arm and a scar over his right eye. No dental or fingerprint records are available, which has complicated identification efforts. The San Diego Police Department lists his disappearance as an active investigation, and his case appears in national missing persons databases such as NamUs.

Does anyone have memories, photographs, or information about Efren’s last known movements or the crossing area on January 10, 1983?
