Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4534) and 8 other sources
Froelan Rosales, a 15-year-old boy, was last seen on September 22, 1989, in Holtville, California. At the time of his disappearance, Froelan stood 5'5" and weighed approximately 150 pounds. He had black hair and black eyes. It is believed that Froelan may have left on his own accord, and his case has been classified as an endangered runaway. However, despite this classification, no trace of him has been found since the day he went missing.

He was also known to sometimes spell his name as "Froilan" and may have used the alias Jorge Ramos. Froelan’s case has remained unsolved for over three decades, with authorities and missing persons organizations still seeking any leads that could provide answers. His case has been included in national databases, including NamUs and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Age-progression photos have been produced to show what he might look like as an adult, but no new developments have occurred.

Anyone with information regarding Froelan's disappearance is encouraged to contact the Imperial County Sheriff’s Department.
