Marco Antonio Pineda was 18 when he was last seen in El Paso, Texas, on April 29, 2002. About 9:00 p.m. he was picked up from his home on Kensington Street by a friend; after that pickup he vanished and left no clear clues. He did not take belongings that would suggest a planned long absence.

At the time he disappeared Marco was described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, an overlapping right front tooth, and possible facial hair such as a mustache or goatee. He was wearing a light blue-and-white button-down shirt, dark blue sweatpants with a light blue stripe and zippered ankles, and white Converse shoes.

Law enforcement and family have conducted extensive efforts without significant developments. If anyone knew Marco, saw him that night, or has information about his whereabouts, please contact the El Paso Police Department with any tips.
