Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27089) and 3 other sources
Juan Ernesto Echegaray, a 58-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen on May 7, 1996, in Long Beach, California. At the time of his disappearance, Echegaray was wearing a green hooded jacket and brown pants. He stood 5'9" tall, weighed around 170 pounds, had gray hair, black eyes, and was without teeth, relying on full dentures. Echegaray had suffered a stroke prior to going missing, which left him unable to communicate effectively, making him a vulnerable dependent adult.

Little information has surfaced regarding his whereabouts or the circumstances of his disappearance since that day in 1996. His case remains unsolved, and the Long Beach Police Department continues to investigate in hopes of finding new leads. Anyone with information about his case is encouraged to contact the authorities.

The lack of communication abilities and his dependent status heightened concerns about his safety, but unfortunately, few clues have emerged over the years to shed light on what may have happened to him.
