Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17623) and 6 other sources
Carlos Mendez Limas, a 43-year-old man, was last seen on April 24, 1981, in Los Angeles, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was involved in a homicide investigation, and authorities believe he may have been murdered due to his possible participation in the crime. Limas was last seen with John Caballero Walters, who also went missing under suspicious circumstances that same day. Neither man has been heard from since.

Limas is described as a Hispanic male, standing 5'9" and weighing 175 pounds. He had black hair, brown eyes, and numerous tattoos, including the name "Emilia" on his left forearm. He was last seen wearing a black, yellow, and off-white plaid shirt with dark beige pants. Given his involvement in the criminal investigation at the time, authorities suspect foul play. The case remains unsolved, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department continues to seek information.

Despite the ongoing investigation, no significant leads have emerged in over four decades. Both Limas and Walters remain missing, and law enforcement continues to urge anyone with information to come forward.
