Rigoberto Perez was 16 when he was last seen in Tampa, Florida, on December 6, 1998. He was living at the Haven Poe Shelter at the time and is described as biracial (White and Hispanic/Latino), 5 feet tall, about 113 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

His disappearance has been classified as an endangered runaway case. Beyond that initial information there has been little public detail about his movements after December 6, 1998, and the case remains unsolved with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office still seeking leads.

If anyone knew Rigoberto, saw him around Tampa in early December 1998, or has information that could help locate him, please contact law enforcement.
