Eric Vargas was 13 when he disappeared from his new home in Gresham, Oregon. His mother reported him missing on March 17, 2004, after he left their residence soon after relocating from Canada to live with her. Authorities describe him as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 10 inches and weighing between 140 and 200 pounds, with a scar on his chin.

The Gresham Police Department opened an investigation under case number 04-3589 and the official report states foul play was not suspected. Few other details are available publicly, including what he was wearing or whether he took personal items.

Does anyone who knew Eric or saw him in Gresham around March 2004 have information to share?
