George Jijon, 30, was last contacted by his sister around mid-December 2024 and was seen by a Torrington, Connecticut, neighbor in the Grove Street area on or about December 22, 2024. His family reported him missing after a week without contact, and the Torrington Police Department announced the disappearance on New Year’s Eve.

Jijon vanished without his cellphone, keys, wallet, or any identification, a detail his family and investigators found alarming and that suggested he either did not plan to be gone or left under duress. He is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 160 pounds, with brown eyes and long black hair. His sister Vanessa Bal has appealed on social media for any information and emphasized how deeply his absence affects the family.

The Torrington Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact them. Did anyone in the Grove Street area or surrounding Torrington neighborhoods see George in late December 2024?
