Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP67391) and 2 other sources
Carlos Loera Carrillo, a 33-year-old man, was last seen on December 23, 2003, in South Gate, California. On that day, he had contact with a family member, but after that, he vanished without a trace. At the time of his disappearance, Carlos was no longer employed at Sergio's Transmission in Compton, where he had previously worked. When family members checked his residence, they found all of his clothing still there, but his burgundy 1974 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck (California license plate 4T70738) was missing. His relatives in Mexico were also contacted, but they had no knowledge of his whereabouts.

Despite the ongoing investigation, neither Carlos nor his vehicle has ever been found. The South Gate Police Department continues to seek information regarding his disappearance, though very few details about the case have been uncovered. His case remains open, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Last Seen: Dec 23, 2003
