Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1044) and 6 other sources
Francisco Huizar, a 32-year-old man from Michigan City, Indiana, was last seen on March 17, 2000. He left his home at around 2:50 p.m. on Roberta Avenue, heading to his job at PSW Inc., where he was due to start his shift at 3:00 p.m. However, Francisco never arrived at work. His disappearance raised immediate concern when he failed to contact anyone, and his family reported him missing by early the next day.

On April 3, 2000, Francisco's red 1988 Honda was discovered burned beyond recognition in a nature preserve on North Clark Road in Gary, Indiana. The vehicle had to be identified by its VIN number due to the extent of the damage, but no trace of Francisco was found near the car. His case remains unsolved, and foul play is strongly suspected. He was last seen wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and a baseball cap. Francisco had connections in nearby areas, including Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago, but investigators have not yet uncovered any solid leads.

Authorities continue to investigate Francisco’s disappearance, hoping to find answers in this long-standing cold case.
