Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP89118) and 2 other sources
In the autumn of 2017, concern began to grow for a 62-year-old man from the Bronx, New York. Alfredo Laureano, a Hispanic male, was last seen on September 1, 2017. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing approximately 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding his last known whereabouts are not widely publicized, adding a layer of painful uncertainty for those who know him. His case was officially created on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on February 22, 2022, indicating a significant passage of time before it was entered into this national database.

The official investigation into Alfredo Laureano's disappearance is being handled by the North Richland Hills Police Department in Texas. The case was reported to them on November 26, 2019, over two years after he was last seen in New York. The reasons for the Texas-based police department's involvement are not publicly detailed, which can sometimes occur in missing persons cases if family members reside in that jurisdiction or if new information surfaces that links the case to that area. The lengthy period between his last contact and the official report date further complicates the efforts to piece together the timeline of his disappearance.

The lack of public information creates a challenging landscape for understanding what happened to Alfredo Laureano. Years have passed since he was last seen, and with no widely reported updates or discoveries, his case remains unresolved. For his family and community, the absence of answers is a continuous source of distress. The investigation, led by Detective Travis Peck of the North Richland Hills Police Department, continues to seek any information that might shed light on Laureano's whereabouts and the circumstances of his disappearance. The overview of this case highlights a man who vanished, with the formal investigation beginning long after he was last seen, leaving a quiet but profound void for those left behind.

Last Seen: Sep 1, 2017
