Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17279) and 6 other sources
Anibal Marin Romero, aged 32, was last seen on October 3, 2007, in Whittier, California. His girlfriend dropped him off at the intersection of Pioneer and Imperial Highway around 8:30 a.m. He remained in the Norwalk area until approximately 8:55 p.m., which was the last time he made contact with his girlfriend via cell phone. Anibal was reported missing two days later, as his girlfriend did not notify his family immediately. He has not been heard from since.

Anibal is described as a Hispanic male, 5'5" to 5'7" tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has distinctive tattoos on his upper arms, including Chinese writing and an Aztec tribal band. Anibal also has medical conditions, including diabetes and hypertension, which raises additional concerns about his well-being. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing blue jeans and a black sweater with a gray stripe.

Despite ongoing investigations, few details have emerged about his case. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department continues to handle the investigation, but no significant leads have surfaced. His case remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact authorities.
