Enrique's nicknames are Curious and Ricky. Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Enrique disappeared from Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 17, 2011. He was last seen hanging out with friends near the corner of Zuni and Indiana Streets southeast. His uncle saw him there and told him to go home, but Enrique refused and said he was going to spend the night with friends who lived nearby. He has never been heard from again. Prior to his disappearance, according to his mother, he had been "hanging around with the wrong people." He looked and acted older than his Age at the time of disappearance: and made friends that were several years older. His mother was a single parent and worked at a nightclub, and due to her work hours she wasn't able to closely supervise him. He had been expelled from his middle school for bringing a gun to campus. Enrique's mother enrolled him in a local boxing club to try to keep him out of trouble, and considered sending him to live with relatives in Kansas City, Missouri, but Enrique disappeared before she could do this. One of Enrique's friends, an eighteen-year-old boy, gave inconsistent statements about his disappearance, and it turned out he had some of his belongings, including Enrique's backpack and a rosary his grandfather had given him. Nothing came of this lead, however. Enrique may still be in the local area. Although authorities believe he left of his own accord, his mother doesn't think he would have run away. His disappearance remains unsolved.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
