Nicolas Lopez was 21 when he was last seen in Santa Maria, California, on November 30, 1993. He has not been heard from since. At the time he was described as 5 feet tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He may also have used the alias Jose Luis Nieto.

Very few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released. The Santa Maria Police Department investigated but there has been no substantial information about his whereabouts and the case remains unsolved and classified as missing.

If anyone knew Nicolas, knew he used the name Jose Luis Nieto, or has any information about his whereabouts in or around Santa Maria in late 1993, please come forward.
