In the summer of 2025, a family dispute would mark the last time 54-year-old Douglas Vicente Suazo was seen by his loved ones in Batesville, Arkansas. On the evening of June 28th, following an argument with his wife during which he was reportedly intoxicated, Douglas was asked to leave their home. It is believed he drove away in his white 2014 Ford Fusion sedan with Arkansas license plate ANT96H and has not been seen or heard from since.
At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white tank top and black basketball shorts. The Independence County Sheriff's Office was notified and a report was filed on the same day, officially beginning the investigation into his whereabouts under case number 25-00707.
Douglas is described as a Hispanic male, standing at approximately five feet three inches tall and weighing around 165 pounds. He has brown hair and black eyes. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under MP149880. It is noted that he has used several aliases or variations of his name, including Douglas Svazo, Douglas Montez, and Douglas V. Suazo-Montez, which can sometimes complicate search efforts and public record inquiries. The inclusion of his vehicle's description and license plate number in public alerts provides a critical piece of information for law enforcement and the public to be on the lookout for. These details are vital for potential sightings through traffic cameras, and reports from vehicle-related businesses.
The days and weeks following Douglas's disappearance have been filled with uncertainty for his family and community. The Arkansas Crime Information Center, in collaboration with the Attorney General's office, has included his case in the 'Never Forgotten' portal, a statewide initiative to raise awareness for missing persons and support their families. The Independence County Sheriff's Office continues to be the primary agency investigating his case. The circumstances surrounding his departure, a domestic argument, add a layer of complexity to the investigation. While it began with a simple request for him to leave his home, the lack of contact since that night has deepened the mystery and concern for his well-being. The investigation remains focused on retracing his steps from the moment he left his residence and uncovering any information that could lead to his location.Last Seen: Jun 28, 2025
