Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25365) and 6 other sources
Rodolfo Araya, a 32-year-old man, was last seen on January 20, 1984, in Glendale, California. At the time of his disappearance, Araya was described as 5'7" tall, weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His case is classified as endangered missing, but unfortunately, very few details surrounding his disappearance have emerged over the years. Rodolfo has not been heard from since that day, and there have been no known developments or significant leads.

Despite limited available information, his case remains active and under investigation by the Glendale Police Department. Investigators encourage anyone with information about his disappearance to come forward, as his family and authorities continue to seek closure after all these years.

Rodolfo's case is recorded in several missing persons databases, including the California Department of Justice and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but no major breakthroughs have occurred since his last sighting.
