Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28384) and 2 other sources
Rogelio Rodriguez, age 31, was last seen on January 1, 1981, in Miami, Florida, shortly after arriving from Cuba during the Mariel Boatlift. His case remains unsolved, and there is very little information available about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Rodriguez was listed as missing by NamUs, but few additional details have surfaced over the years. His physical description at the time of his disappearance included a height of 5'6" and a weight of 150 pounds, but no details regarding his hair color are known.

The case has received limited attention, and the lack of new leads has left his disappearance a mystery for over four decades. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information about Rogelio Rodriguez's case to come forward in hopes of providing some answers for his family.
