Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17293)
Juan Carlos Herrera-Arias, a 24-year-old man, was last seen in Miami, Florida, on November 18, 1993. Originally from Colombia, Herrera-Arias had moved to Miami just nine months before his disappearance. He worked part-time in construction and lived in the Fontainebleau Park area. On the day he went missing, he was seen by a friend in a beige van, though it is unclear whether he was driving or simply a passenger. At the time, Herrera-Arias was known to drive a dark blue 1990s model Suzuki Samurai, and he frequented areas such as Miami-Lakes and Miami Gardens.
Herrera-Arias has not been heard from since that day.
His disappearance remains unsolved despite continued efforts by authorities and the Miami-Dade Police Department to gather information. He is described as 5'9", weighing 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. A notable detail is a scar on his right thigh, and he had a metal rod implanted in his femur. His case remains active, with law enforcement appealing to the public for any information that could help solve this decades-old mystery.Last Seen: Nov 18, 1993
