Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP60441) and 2 other sources
Amalio Rangel, a 17-year-old from McAllen, Texas, has been missing since August 10, 2016. At the time of his disappearance, Amalio's case was classified under the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NAMUS). Unfortunately, details surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and despite efforts to gather more information, no significant leads have surfaced. His case is one of many unresolved missing persons cases in Texas, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Amalio's disappearance occurred when he was still a teenager, and like many cases involving missing youth, community awareness and involvement are critical for generating leads. His case remains active, and the Texas Department of Public Safety, along with national databases, continues to list Amalio as a missing person. Anyone with information that could help is urged to contact local law enforcement or use resources like NAMUS to submit tips.
