Joe Angel Luiz was 37 when he disappeared from his Las Vegas home on a spring day in 1992. He was at the residence in the 1600 block of Mapleleaf Street earlier that day, spending time with his daughters; when his wife returned she found him gone. Reports say a suitcase appeared packed, yet his car remained at the house, and his wife did not believe he would willingly walk out on the family—details that leave the circumstances contradictory.

The last confirmed activity is a March 30, 1992 unemployment form he filled out and mailed. An unemployment check was sent to his post office box on April 6; his wife saw it there, later found it missing, and discovered it had been cashed. Subsequent checks were canceled and no further trace of Joe has been reported. He is described as a Hispanic male, black hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, 165 to 180 pounds, with a scar near his left eye. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department lists his case among cold cases.

Did anyone in the Las Vegas area know Joe’s routines, work contacts, or where he might have gone in spring 1992?
