Steven Martinez was 16 when he vanished from Colorado Springs in the winter of 1997. He was last seen on January 31, 1997, by staff at the Chins-Up youth facility. At that time he was described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue Georgetown jacket.

An unusual detail: he had been served a summons at the facility and left his copy behind before he disappeared. The case was classified as an endangered runaway and was reported to the Colorado Springs Police Department; it was entered in national missing-person databases including NamUs and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. There have been no significant leads publicized, and the case remains open and cold, with few images available in public databases to help keep it visible.

If anyone knew Steven, spent time at Chins-Up in 1997, or has information about the summons he was given, please come forward.
