Sebastian Delacruz Riquiac was 17 when he disappeared from Paterson, New Jersey in the winter of 2016 after leaving a relative’s home. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 2 inches tall and roughly 110 pounds. Beyond that basic physical description, public details about his last movements, clothing, or the circumstances of his disappearance are scarce.

The Paterson Police Department handled the investigation, but the scope of their efforts and any leads pursued have not been made public. The case has had a limited digital footprint and few widely circulated public appeals, leaving family and community members with many unanswered questions.

If anyone saw Sebastian around Paterson in late 2016 or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward to the authorities.
