Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP16476) and 1 other source
In the border town of Douglas, Arizona, a family was forever changed when 31-year-old Angel Ramos Loera vanished on May 7, 2010. A Hispanic male with a medium build, standing between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weighing between 160 and 180 pounds, Angel was a familiar face in his community. The day he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a black denim jacket and pants, along with beige and grey "Flexi" brand shoes. He was also carrying a beige backpack. Adding to his description were distinctive tattoos, including a chain on his right arm and scars on his left eyebrow. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unknown, leaving his loved ones with a painful void and a decade-long search for answers.

The official report of Angel's disappearance was filed with the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner on May 14, 2010, a week after he was last seen. The case, cataloged under number FSC MPR 1665, was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP16476 more than two years later, on July 30, 2012. Despite these procedural steps, tangible leads and public information about the investigation have been scarce. The lack of available information has left a vacuum of speculation and concern, with no clear indication of what might have happened to Angel after he was last seen in the Cochise County community.

The passage of time has not diminished the hope of finding answers in Angel Ramos Loera's case. His physical descriptors, including his tattoos and scars, remain key identifiers for potential leads. The official investigation, while not publicly detailed, continues to be a point of contact for anyone with information. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind families to grapple with the ambiguity and sorrow of not knowing. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained absence, a man who one day was part of the fabric of his community and the next, was gone, leaving only memories and a lingering question of his whereabouts.
