Vanished on Two Wheels: The Unsolved Disappearance of Oscar Fuentes in Los Angeles
A Young Man's Vanishing Act

On January 12, 2019, 19-year-old Oscar Fuentes told his mother he was heading to Van Nuys on his bicycle. That was the last time anyone saw him. Living in a semi-homeless state, Oscar's disappearance went largely unnoticed by the public, but his family was left in anguish, searching for answers that have yet to come. Despite efforts by the Los Angeles Police Department's Adult Missing Persons Unit, Oscar's case remains unsolved.

The Circumstances Surrounding His Disappearance

Oscar was described as being 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. On the day he vanished, he informed his mother of his plans to travel to Van Nuys, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles. Given his semi-homeless status, it's unclear where he was residing at the time, which may have contributed to the challenges in tracking his movements. The lack of information about his clothing or belongings further complicates the investigation.

Delayed Reporting and Its Impact

Notably, Oscar's disappearance was not reported to the authorities until January 5, 2020, nearly a year after he was last seen. This significant delay in reporting likely hindered the initial stages of the investigation, as crucial time was lost in gathering evidence and potential leads.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Adult Missing Persons Unit continues to handle Oscar's case. Despite the passage of time, they urge anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that even the smallest detail could prove pivotal.
