A Case That Almost Slipped Through the Cracks
Steven Delgado’s disappearance is one of those quietly haunting cases that barely left a footprint in traditional media but continues to live on in databases and online cold-case communities. In 1984, the 21-year-old from Selma, California, spoke with his family while he was in Florida—and after that contact, he was never heard from again. Public records and case summaries agree on the core fact that he vanished as a young adult with no clear explanation, leaving behind a mystery that has remained unsolved for decades.
Who Was Steven Delgado, as the Records Describe Him?
Official descriptions of Steven are frustratingly sparse, giving us only the barest outline of the person behind the case number. He is consistently listed as a male in his early twenties from Selma, California, in Fresno County. Physically, he’s described as having brown hair and brown eyes, with a height in the range of about 5'6" to 5'9" and a weight somewhere between roughly 140 and 165 pounds, depending on which database you consult. Some sources list his race or ethnicity as White/Caucasian, while others classify him as Hispanic, reflecting the way data was captured and categorized at the time.
