Israel Quintana, Sr., a 37-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen at his home near 14th Avenue and Van Buren Street in Phoenix on May 3, 1992. He was described as about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 135 to 145 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a mustache and full beard. He is also known as Israel Contreras-Quintana.

Distinctive marks were noted: a bump on the top of his right shoulder from a previous fracture, a scar across his right knee, a scar on one heel, and a scar on the upper bridge of his nose between his eyes. Family and friends lost contact with him after that date, and the initial investigation recorded that foul play was suspected. The Phoenix Police Department handled the case and a missing persons report was entered on December 12, 2009.

If anyone has information about Israel’s whereabouts or remembers seeing him around May 1992, please come forward.
