Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24053) and 6 other sources
Luis Jose Escobedo, a 30-year-old man, was last seen on June 26, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. He was reportedly asleep at his residence at the time of his disappearance, and no further information about his whereabouts has surfaced since that day. Escobedo, who stood 5'6" and weighed around 180 pounds, had black hair and brown eyes. He also had a distinctive scar on his right leg. On the day he vanished, he was wearing a blue shirt, gray pants, and gray sneakers.

Despite the passage of time, few details have been revealed in his case, and his disappearance remains unsolved. Authorities have classified it as an endangered missing person case, and there is speculation that foul play may have been involved. Escobedo's case is still under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, and they continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward to help resolve the mystery of his disappearance.
