Simon Santos-Vargas was 17 years old when he was last seen in Miami, Florida, on December 26, 2007. Online missing-person listings identified him as a male teenager from the Miami area whose disappearance was entered into NamUs as case MP22169, with a related National Center for Missing & Exploited Children case number of 1224467. At the time he was reported missing, Simon was described as 5 feet 2 inches tall and about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Some public listings also described the clothing associated with the case as a white shirt and black jeans. The basic circumstances released publicly were limited, and available sources did not provide a detailed account of where in Miami he was last seen, who last saw him, whether he left voluntarily, or whether there were immediate signs of danger.
The sparse public record left Simon’s case defined mostly by the essential identifying facts: a 17-year-old boy, last known to be in Miami, with law enforcement and missing-person databases preserving his information so he could be recognized and located. The Miami-Dade Police Department was listed as the investigating agency in public case information, and the case was tied to the date he was reported missing. Because so few narrative details were made public, there is no clear online account explaining what Simon’s family, friends, or investigators believed may have happened in the hours before he disappeared. That absence of detail does not make the case any less significant; it reflects how many missing-person cases, especially those involving teenagers, can remain publicly summarized in only a few lines while loved ones wait for answers.
Official reporting now indicates that Simon Santos-Vargas was found alive, and his case is no longer an active missing-person case. The exact date and circumstances of his recovery were not clearly available in the online sources reviewed, so those details should not be assumed. What can be said is that the case began with a teenage boy reported missing from Miami in late December 2007, was documented through national missing-person systems and law enforcement records, and ultimately ended with confirmation that he was located alive. In overview, Simon’s case stands as one of many missing-teen cases where the public record contains only limited facts about the disappearance itself, but the most important outcome is known: he was found alive.Last Seen: Dec 26, 2007
