Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP101316) and 1 other source
Edber Perez is listed in NamUs as a missing person, case number MP101316. He was 30 years old at the time of his last known contact and is recorded as missing from Washington D.C., District of Columbia, with the date of last contact listed as January 1, 2020. Public missing-person listings identify him as a Hispanic / Latino male with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 140 pounds.

The publicly available NamUs case summary states that Mr. Perez’s last known connection with family came through contact with his cousin by Facebook Messenger. During that contact, he reportedly told his cousin that he was living in Washington, D.C. Since then, his family has not had contact with him, and the case information notes that there has been no activity on his known social media accounts. The available information also states that it did not appear he had contact with law enforcement after he went missing.

Mr. Perez’s case appears to have been reported to and investigated by the Fairfax County Police Department, with NamUs identifying that agency in connection with the missing-person entry. The information publicly associated with the case does not provide a precise location in Washington, D.C., where he was last known to be, nor does it describe what he may have been wearing, whether he had a vehicle, or whether he had any belongings with him. These gaps make the case especially difficult for loved ones, because the known public details center mainly on his last reported communication and the absence of contact afterward.

There is no public resolution status in the information reviewed indicating that Mr. Perez has been found alive or located deceased. Based on the available online records, his case remains presented as an active missing-person case. The lack of known social media activity and the absence of contact with family are especially concerning, while the limited public circumstances leave many unanswered questions about where he went, whether he remained in Washington, D.C., and what may have happened after his last reported contact.

At the center of this case is a man whose family has endured years without answers. Public records provide only a small outline of Edber Perez’s disappearance, but they make clear that his relatives lost contact with him after he said he was living in Washington, D.C., and that no confirmed public update has resolved where he is. Anyone with credible information would be helping not just an investigation, but a family still hoping for clarity and peace.
