Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP31799)
Rolando Ignacio Ocampo, a 12-year-old boy, went missing from Burbank, California, on July 24, 1989. At the time of his disappearance, Rolando was described as being 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing around 90 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He vanished without a trace, and despite efforts by authorities and his family, no substantial leads have emerged over the decades.

The circumstances surrounding Rolando’s disappearance are unclear, and there has been limited public information available. Some believe that his case may have connections to larger incidents, though no conclusive evidence has been found to substantiate this. His case has remained open in national databases such as NamUs, where authorities continue to look for tips that might help solve this longstanding mystery.

Over the years, occasional discussions have surfaced suggesting possible outcomes or sightings of Rolando, including rumors of abduction and being taken across the border. These claims, however, have not led to confirmed resolutions. The case remains a heartbreaking unsolved mystery in the Burbank area, with law enforcement still seeking any information that might provide closure to his family.

Last Seen: Jul 24, 1989
