Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34596) and 5 other sources
In the winter of 2016, a man named Orlando Perez vanished from the city of New Britain, Connecticut, leaving behind a void of information and concern for his well-being. His last confirmed contact with anyone was on January 12th of that year. At the time he went missing, he was 31 years old. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are not publicly detailed, creating a painful uncertainty for those who knew him. He was known to be experiencing homelessness at the time he was last seen.

Orlando Perez is described as a White and Hispanic male, standing at approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes. One of the distinguishing features noted by authorities are tattoos on his left arm and left ankle. The New Britain Police Department was officially notified of his disappearance on May 2, 2016, and assigned case number 16-10451 to his file. His case was also entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under the number MP34596.

Since the day he was last seen, there has been a lack of any significant leads or new information released to the public regarding his whereabouts. His family has not had any contact with him, and the silence has been a heavy burden for them to bear. The case of Orlando Perez is a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing, often with little to no explanation. The overview of his case is one of an abrupt and unexplained absence, a man who was part of a community and then suddenly was not, leaving behind only questions and the enduring hope for answers.
