Summary based on 6 sources
Leo Anicua, a 34-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen on November 25, 2013, in the Saugus area of Los Angeles, California. Anicua is described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing between 150 and 160 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. He has several distinctive tattoos, including on his cheek, neck, ears, and scalp, and his ears are pierced. When he was last seen, Anicua was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and black shorts.

Anicua was reportedly leaving his residence in the 27000 block of Seco Canyon Road at approximately 1:00 p.m. He may have been driving a black two-door 2013 Toyota Tacoma with the California license plate number 8M97272. This vehicle was later recovered in good condition at an unspecified location.

Authorities believe there may be a connection between Anicua's disappearance and that of an acquaintance, 30-year-old David Zendejas. Zendejas was last seen in the Canoga Park area of Los Angeles at 3:00 a.m. on November 26, 2013, just fourteen hours after Anicua was last seen. Family members of both men suspect they may be together. The Los Angeles Police Department is handling the investigation into both disappearances.
