Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP30017) and 5 other sources
In the late hours of November 20, 2011, Gerardo DeJesus Hipolito-Lopez, a 56-year-old man, vanished from Wyoming, Michigan. He was last seen at Frankie V's, a bar located in the 1400 block of 28th Street. That evening, Hipolito-Lopez had been at the bar with a male relative. When they attempted to leave, they discovered their vehicle would not start. His relative decided to walk to a nearby home to get another car, leaving Hipolito-Lopez to wait at the bar. By the time the relative returned, Hipolito-Lopez was nowhere to be found. The disabled vehicle was still in the parking lot, though it had been moved from its original spot.

At the time of his disappearance, Gerardo Hipolito-Lopez was described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes. He stood between 5'8' and 5'9' tall and weighed between 155 and 175 pounds. He was last seen wearing a brown leather jacket, a white button-down collared shirt, and black dress shoes. He sometimes wore non-prescription reading glasses. His family reported him missing to the Wyoming Police Department on November 22, 2011. Since that night, no one has reported hearing from or seeing him again.

The Wyoming Police Department has continued to investigate the disappearance of Gerardo Hipolito-Lopez, a case that has left his family waiting for answers for years. Investigators have expressed their commitment to bringing closure to his loved ones, emphasizing that even the smallest piece of information could be the key to solving the case. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, from why the car was moved to where he might have gone. The case is a painful reminder of the lingering uncertainty that families of the missing endure. The official investigation remains open, with law enforcement still seeking any information that could lead to answers about what happened to Gerardo Hipolito-Lopez that night.
