Four-year-old Rolando Salas Jusino, known as Rolandito, vanished from a park in the Colinas de Plata urbanization of Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, on July 7, 1999. He was last seen playing unsupervised between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. wearing a green t-shirt, dark green shorts, and black and white sneakers. Rolando has asthma and was described as Biracial with black hair and brown eyes.

Investigators examined multiple leads over the years. Early suggestions of a link to drug trafficking were dismissed because no family members were known to be involved. The boy’s mother’s ex-partner, Roberto Gotay Valcárcel, became a person of interest after inmates reported he had confessed to killing Rolando and burying him on a farm; that allegation was never verified. Numerous alleged sightings in the Dominican Republic, Spain, and the U.S. mainland were never confirmed. In mid-2024 a tip about a man in Boston resembling an age-progressed image led to DNA testing that ruled him out.

The case remains unsolved. Did anyone in Toa Alta or the places where sightings were reported see Rolandito around July 1999 or ever afterward?
