Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP149484) and 1 other source
Arturo Cruz Rodriguez was 34 years old when he was last seen on August 24, 2013, in Indianapolis, Indiana. His disappearance is documented in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP149484, where his case remains listed as a long-term missing person. The public record shows the NamUs listing was created on September 10, 2025, ensuring his information is preserved in a national database more than a decade after he went missing.

The NamUs page organizes the case into standard sections—case numbers, demographics, circumstances, physical description, distinctive features, clothing and accessories, and additional case information. In the current public view, only the section headers are shown, with limited case specifics visible, reflecting that not all details have been entered or made public at this time. Even so, the presence of these sections signals where updates about identifying characteristics or situational context would be recorded if and when they are provided by investigators.

The listing also includes areas for images and documents, along with sections for investigating agencies and case contributors, and it directs visitors to contact NamUs with questions. This structure supports the sharing of information with the appropriate authorities and maintains a central place where developments can be added over time.

More than twelve years have passed since Arturo’s last known contact, a span that underscores the weight borne by his loved ones and community. Keeping his case active in a national system offers a way to preserve visibility, encourage the flow of new information, and honor the hope that even after many years, answers can still be found.
