Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP158555)
Juan De Dios Cauich-Euan, a 43-year-old Hispanic male, has been missing from Los Angeles, California, since the summer of 2025. His family last had contact with him in August of that year, specifically in the Boyle Heights area of the city. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 260 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Concern for his well-being grew after an extended period of silence, prompting his family to officially report him missing to the Los Angeles Police Department's Adult Missing Persons Unit on February 9, 2026.

The circumstances surrounding Juan's disappearance are layered with concern. His family informed authorities that he was known to be transient, which can present additional challenges in locating a person. A particularly worrying detail shared by his family was that he had lost a significant amount of weight prior to their last contact. This information adds a level of urgency and concern for his physical health and welfare. Since August 2025, there has been a complete absence of communication from Juan, leaving his loved ones without answers as to his whereabouts or condition.

The investigation into Juan Cauich-Euan's disappearance is being handled by the Los Angeles Police Department. His case has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP158555. Authorities have collected DNA samples from family members to aid in the identification process should the need arise. The lack of contact for such a prolonged period, combined with the family's report of his transient lifestyle and significant weight loss, paints a troubling picture. The case remains an active investigation as law enforcement and his family continue to hope for information that will lead to his safe return.
