Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP90026) and 5 other sources
George Sanchez Juarez, a 26-year-old Hispanic male, went missing between August 2 and August 12, 1986, in San Jose, California. At the time of his disappearance, Juarez was 5'8" tall and weighed approximately 140 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. Despite available dental records, there has been little progress in solving his case.

Juarez's disappearance remains a mystery with few known details about the circumstances leading up to his last sighting. The San Jose Police Department continues to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to come forward. His case has been classified as a missing person and remains unresolved after several decades.

His disappearance adds to the list of cold cases in the area, and continued public attention could help generate new leads in this longstanding investigation.
