Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12418) and 5 other sources
Gustavo Fortich, a 49-year-old man, was last seen on the evening of August 31, 1998, in the area of 133 Avenue Southwest 55th Street in Miami, Florida. He was driving a burgundy or maroon 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with a Florida license plate WBP66C. At the time of his disappearance, Gustavo was wearing a blue, red, and white striped polo shirt and blue jeans.

Despite efforts to locate him, Gustavo has not been heard from since that evening, and his vehicle has also never been found. His case remains classified as endangered missing, with foul play suspected due to the lack of leads and the circumstances surrounding his sudden disappearance. Authorities have continued to search for answers, but little information has surfaced in the decades since.

Gustavo's physical description includes blond hair, blue eyes, and acne scars on his face. His case remains unsolved, and the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office is still investigating.
