Nazario Sanchez Rojas, a 31-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen on April 9, 1987, at his home in Los Angeles, California. He was 5'6" tall, weighed approximately 160 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. Rojas may have also gone by the name Nazario Sanchez. Little information has been uncovered regarding the circumstances of his disappearance, and he has not been heard from since that day.

Despite an ongoing investigation, few details have emerged over the years. The case is still classified as endangered missing, and the Los Angeles Police Department remains the lead investigative agency. No significant developments or updates have been reported regarding his whereabouts.
