Israel Rosado was 20 when he was last seen on May 13, 2004, after returning to a Bristol, Connecticut apartment he shared with his girlfriend. He had attended a court appearance in Waterbury that morning and paid his lawyer in full. After receiving a phone call at the apartment, he went outside and got into a vehicle described as either a car or a pickup truck with a person his girlfriend did not know; that was the last confirmed sighting.

Cell phone records show all activity stopped by 3 p.m. on the day he vanished. Investigators learned Rosado, who had moved from New York City to Bristol in 2002 and was known to travel frequently between Connecticut and New York, sometimes carried large amounts of cash. He had a minor criminal history, mainly marijuana possession. He is described as Hispanic of Puerto Rican descent, between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches, 130 to 145 pounds, with brown hair in cornrows, brown eyes, and a birthmark under his chin.

Several reported sightings were unconfirmed in the months after he disappeared. The case remains an open investigation. Did anyone in Connecticut or New York remember seeing Israel or the vehicle he got into on May 13, 2004?
