<<On September 14, 2001, at 6:00 p.m., Florez was last seen at his family's home in the area of 5200 West Indian School Road in Phoenix, AZ, getting ready to walk to a nearby party. It was a school night, so his mother told him to be home early. He agreed and told his family he loved them and that he would see them later. He then began his walk. This was the last time the family saw or spoke to him.

After he didn't come home that night and didn't show up to school the next morning, his mother reported him missing. The initial search was extensive - family and friends mobilized to search the area for Florez while police questioned kids in his class, which revealed that he had never even made it to a party that night.

Florez was quiet and reserved but still a people person, always talking about his bright dreams and big goals - desiring to be both a businessman and an architect and to make enough money to buy a big house. He has not been seen nor heard from since.>>

How excruciating for his family. This case deserves more attention. I wonder if someone in his circle of friends knew what happened but was too afraid to come forward back then. It's not too late.

@Caring1 Are there any exclusions for this young man?

There is a John Doe from Phoenix who I came across, but who doesn't really match, UP2058. Thought I'd mention him anyway...
John Doe doesn't seem to have a thread, so I will create one.
