Juan Rico Missing Person Case

Juan Rico, an 81-year-old man, was last seen on January 20, 1987, at his residence in Los Angeles, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing blue pants, a blue jacket, and a leather belt with the name "Carmen" stitched on it. He is described as 5'7", 140 pounds, with brown hair (balding) and brown eyes. Rico, who had no teeth and a scar on his left hand, also suffered from dementia, which likely contributed to his disappearance.

He may have used the aliases "Carmen Puente" or "Juan Puente," and his nickname was "Grandpa." Despite extensive searches, no substantial leads have emerged regarding his whereabouts since 1987. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to come forward.

Rico's case remains classified as an endangered missing person, with investigators still seeking clues to solve his decades-old disappearance.
