Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4351) and 5 other sources
Larry Anthony Perez, an 18-year-old young man, was last seen on May 16, 2004, in Chula Vista, California. At the time of his disappearance, Larry stood at 5'8" tall and weighed approximately 125 pounds. He had brown hair, green eyes, and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Despite being missing for over two decades, few details have emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and there have been no significant updates or leads that might explain what happened to him.

Larry's disappearance has been classified as a missing person's case with no indication of foul play or clear evidence pointing toward his whereabouts. His case has not attracted extensive media coverage, which has contributed to the scarcity of publicly available details. His family, friends, and investigators continue to search for any information that could provide answers. The Chula Vista Police Department is handling the case, but as of the last updates, no breakthrough has been made in locating Larry or explaining the events of May 16, 2004.

Various organizations, including the Charley Project and NamUs, have helped keep Larry's case active by listing his profile and gathering any tips or clues from the public. However, despite these efforts, the mystery of his disappearance endures, and authorities are still urging anyone with information to come forward. His DNA and other identifying markers have been entered into databases, which remain a hopeful tool in case further evidence or remains are discovered in the future.
