Fourteen-year-old Jason Maraviaga-Valera was last seen June 10, 2021, in West Valley City, Utah. He is described as Hispanic, with black hair, brown eyes, five feet nine inches tall and about 130 pounds. Authorities report he ran away from a placement program and that he may have been with his biological father, Iran Maradiaga Varela, when he left.

Early inquiries indicated two very different possible destinations: law enforcement initially believed Jason and his father might have traveled to Las Vegas, but another line of information suggested they could have gone to Honduras. No confirmed contact from Jason or his father has been reported since June 10, and the West Valley City Police Department is handling the investigation.

If anyone has information about Jason’s whereabouts in 2021 or since, or about travel by Iran Maradiaga Varela around that time, please share what is known.
