Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11670) and 5 other sources
Santos Andrade, 33 years old at the time, was last seen on November 22, 1988, in East Los Angeles, California. On the day of his disappearance, he was supposed to return to his residence for dinner but never showed up. He has not been heard from since. At the time, Santos was wearing a white striped shirt, brown pants, and a brown jacket. His case has been classified as an endangered missing person, and there are few available details surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance.

Santos did not have any known distinguishing marks, and no dental or DNA records are available for identification purposes. Investigators have considered his case suspicious, but no significant leads have surfaced in the years since he vanished. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department remains the primary investigative agency for his case, and it remains unsolved after more than three decades.
Last Seen: Nov 24, 1988
