Rocky Najera Brizar, a 20-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen in Carbon County, Wyoming on December 25, 1985. For decades, his case remained cold with very few details available surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance. Brizar was described as being 5'6" with brown hair and brown eyes, and a mole near his right eye. The Carbon County Sheriff's Department was the investigating agency in his case.
For nearly four decades, his family had no information on his whereabouts.
The mystery of his disappearance was recently solved in late 2023. A Canadian hobby genealogist discovered Brizar's death certificate while searching an online database. The certificate revealed that Roque "Rocky" Najera had died on April 9, 1987, in a fire in an abandoned building in Seattle, Washington. He was 21 years old at the time of his death, which was caused by smoke inhalation.
Authorities have tentatively confirmed that the death certificate belongs to the man who had been missing since 1985. The discovery, while bringing a form of closure to his family, also brought heartbreak as they processed the news of his fate after years of uncertainty. The finding was a significant development in a case that had been cold for almost 40 years, finally providing answers to what happened to Rocky Najera Brizar.Last Seen: Dec 25, 1985
