Oscar Navas-Martinez, 61, was last seen in the Jefferson Park neighborhood on Chicago’s Northwest Side on November 27, 2017. He is described as a Hispanic male, five feet seven inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Information available suggests he may have been experiencing homelessness around the time he vanished.

No missing person report was filed with the Chicago Police Department until October 3, 2021, a delay that left detectives in Area Five with a limited and cold trail. The long gap between last contact and the formal report complicates the timeline and reduces the chance of locating witnesses or physical clues.

If anyone in Jefferson Park or the surrounding area remembers seeing Oscar around late November 2017 or has information about where he might have stayed, please contact the Chicago Police Department’s Area Five detectives.
