Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28605) and 1 other source
Francisco Velasquez Martinez, a 31-year-old man, was last seen on November 3, 1989, in San Pedro, California. On that day, he was reportedly heading to a laundromat, but he never returned. Martinez's disappearance remains shrouded in mystery, as no further details have surfaced regarding his whereabouts or what may have happened after he was last seen.

Martinez is described as standing 5'5" tall, weighing around 130 pounds, with black hair. His case has been open for decades, with little information available to explain his sudden disappearance. Authorities have been unable to locate any leads that might provide insight into his case.

Despite the time that has passed, law enforcement continues to encourage anyone with information to step forward, as his case remains unsolved. Martinez's family and authorities hope for a resolution that could explain his long-standing disappearance.
Last Seen: Nov 3, 1989
