Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29925) and 4 other sources
Miguel Moscoso, a 39-year-old man, was last seen on January 15, 1988, at his home in Los Angeles, California. At the time of his disappearance, Miguel was known to be a heavy alcohol drinker and was reportedly intoxicated when he was last seen. Despite this detail, very few other specifics are available about the circumstances leading up to his disappearance.

Miguel is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'7" and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has a noticeable distinguishing feature, an 8-inch by 2-inch scar on his right arm. He may have also been using the alias "Miguel Angel Moscoso Aguirre" at the time.

The Los Angeles Police Department continues to classify his case as "endangered missing," and his whereabouts remain unknown. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in the investigation.
