National Hispanic Heritage Month: Abraham Ramirez

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month I’m featuring a Hispanic missing person every day from September 15 to October 15. Today’s case is Abraham Jonathan Ramirez, who disappeared from Jackson, Mississippi on September 5, 2009, at the age of 21. He was a (legal) immigrant from Mexico and worked at a construction company.

Ramirez had a night out with friends at a club, and encountered his girlfriend there at 3:30 a.m., and they argued. I don’t know what the argument was about; perhaps one or the other wasn’t supposed to be out partying, or perhaps the girlfriend saw Ramirez with another woman, or he saw her with another man.

After the argument, Ramirez left the club and disappeared. His truck was later found a mile away, wrecked, on the roadside. Shortly after his disappearance, his girlfriend took their baby and moved away, and the police don’t know where they are now; they might be in Mexico.

Foul play is suspected in Ramirez’s case.
