Victor Trejo was 14 when he vanished from Las Cruces, New Mexico on April 8, 1986. That afternoon he visited his probation officer because of gang involvement, then his mother dropped him at a friend’s apartment in the Doña Ana Apartments. A friend says they went to Apodaca Park and Victor left to use the restroom around 2:30 p.m. and never returned.

Victor had been under tension with rival gang members. After he disappeared the family received phone calls claiming he had been murdered, but no evidence or trace of Victor was ever found. Two of his three close friends later either died or moved away, which the family says hindered learning more. The Las Cruces Police Department lists the case as an open missing person investigation and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Victor, his circle of friends, or saw him in Las Cruces on April 8, 1986, can you share what you remember?
