Carlos Alfredo Arrecis-Martinez is a missing man who disappeared from San Mateo County, California when he was 24 years old. Publicly available case listings indicate he was last known to be in San Mateo County in late August 2021, and that he has not been heard from since. Only limited information has been released publicly, leaving loved ones and the community with many unanswered questions and an ongoing need for awareness.
He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 6 feet tall and about 180 pounds. A photo associated with the case shows him around the time he went missing, but beyond basic identifiers, there is little publicly posted information about what he was wearing, where he was headed, who he was last with, or what circumstances may have led to his disappearance.
The available summaries emphasize the same heartbreaking point: after he was last seen, contact stopped, and there have been few public updates. The lack of detail can be especially painful for families, because even small pieces of information can matter in a search—an ordinary routine, a planned meetup, a location he frequented, or a vehicle description—yet none of that appears in the public-facing synopsis that remains accessible.
The investigating agency listed for his case is the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone who believes they may have information is encouraged to contact law enforcement directly; in San Mateo County, the Sheriff’s Office provides guidance for reporting missing persons and notes that there is no required waiting period before making a report, and that emergencies should be directed to 911.
California’s Department of Justice also provides a statewide missing-persons public information hub and urges the public to contact the law-enforcement agency listed in a missing-person record or the state hotline if they believe they know a missing person’s whereabouts. Even information that feels uncertain or minor—an encounter, a possible sighting, a remembered conversation, or a detail about where someone might seek shelter—can help investigators narrow timelines and focus search efforts with greater care.
