Gaudencio Malagon was 23 when he was last seen in Sanford, Florida, on July 3, 1989. His wife reported him missing after he said he planned to travel to Mexico, his country of origin, but he never crossed the border or arrived there.

At the time of disappearance he was 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 135 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a distinctive scar near his left eyebrow. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office lists him as an endangered missing person; activity checks have produced no new leads and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone knew Gaudencio’s travel plans in July 1989, had contact with him around that time, or saw him in Florida or en route to Mexico, please share information that might help bring clarity to his family’s long search.
