Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP356) and 5 other sources
On a summer morning in 2001, 41-year-old Alejandro Quinones-Zapaico was last seen at his job in the vicinity of the 1900 block of County Road 36 in Meeker, Colorado. He mentioned to others that he was heading home, but he was never heard from again. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unknown, and there is little information available about his case. Quinones-Zapaico, who also went by the nickname Alex, is described as a Hispanic and White/Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was 5'5' tall and weighed 140 pounds. A scar on his right arm is a distinguishing physical feature.

The investigation into Alejandro's disappearance has been handled by the Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open. When he vanished, he left behind his personal belongings, including his money and vehicle. There have been suggestions that he may have been in the Rifle, Colorado area with two Hispanic males, though this lead has not brought any resolution to the case. His case is listed in national databases for missing persons, ensuring that his information remains accessible to law enforcement agencies across the country.

The disappearance of Alejandro Quinones-Zapaico is a long-standing cold case in Rio Blanco County. With no new leads or information, the case has grown cold over the years. The lack of evidence and witnesses has made it incredibly difficult for investigators to piece together the events of that day. The official classification of his disappearance is 'missing under unknown circumstances'. The Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office continues to ask for anyone with information regarding his case to come forward.
