Detailed Case Breakdown
Maglorio Santos Missing Person Case: Milwaukee Man Missing Since March 2015
Maglorio G. Santos disappeared from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on March 14, 2015. He was 41 years old at the time and was reported missing after he failed to show up for work. More than a decade later, his whereabouts remain publicly unresolved.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice continues to maintain missing-person information for Santos, while later court developments have added an unusual and potentially important element to the case.
Very Brief Case Summary
Last Seen: March 14, 2015
Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Age When Missing: 41
Date of Birth: October 24, 1973
NamUs: MP38020
Classification: Endangered Missing
Main circumstances: Santos disappeared without taking his vehicle or cell phone. He failed to report to work and was not heard from afterward. Months after his disappearance, felony criminal charges were filed against him. Those charges were ultimately dismissed in 2025 on the stated ground that the defendant was deceased, although publicly available missing-person sources state that Santos himself has never been located.
The Disappearance of Maglorio Santos
Santos was last seen in Milwaukee on March 14, 2015. According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, he did not show up for work and did not take his vehicle or cell phone when he disappeared.
The Charley Project provides additional detail, reporting that Santos lived in the 2100 block of West Becher Street in Milwaukee. It states that none of his cellular phones or vehicles were taken and that he has not been heard from since.
At the time of his disappearance, Santos was approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed about 220 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. He was described as Hispanic and reportedly had a mustache and goatee.
He may also have used the first names Gregoria or Gregorio Santos.
What Maglorio Santos Was Wearing
The Charley Project reports that Santos was wearing a white short-sleeved American Eagle T-shirt, blue Levi’s jeans and a gold wedding band.
These details could remain important because Santos has never publicly been reported as located.
Criminal Charges Filed After His Disappearance
An unusual development occurred approximately three months after Santos vanished.
According to The Charley Project, felony charges were filed against Santos in June 2015 for incest with a child and repeated sexual assault of a child, and an arrest warrant was issued.
The charges are allegations and should not be treated as findings of guilt. Because Santos was missing, the case did not result in a trial establishing whether the allegations were true.
The timing is nevertheless a significant part of the known chronology: Santos disappeared in March 2015, while the felony case was filed several months afterward.
2025 Development: Charges Dismissed
A major public update emerged in 2025.
The Charley Project reports that the arrest warrant was canceled and the criminal charges against Santos were dismissed in 2025 on the grounds that the “defendant is deceased.”
That court development should not be confused with a public announcement that Santos’s remains have been recovered or identified. The Charley Project specifically notes that Santos has never been located.
Public missing-person resources also continued to carry the case. The Charley Project added its Santos case file on October 17, 2025, and The Doe Network added Maglorio Santos as case 6617DMWI in February 2025.
As of the latest publicly accessible sources reviewed, there is no verified public report explaining when, where or through what evidence authorities concluded for purposes of the criminal proceeding that Santos was deceased. There is likewise no public source located in this review announcing the recovery or identification of his remains.
This leaves an important distinction in the public record: a criminal proceeding was dismissed based on a representation that the defendant was deceased, while missing-person resources continue to document Santos as a person who has never been located.
Where Does the Maglorio Santos Case Stand?
Santos remains listed in publicly accessible missing-person resources more than a decade after his disappearance.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice missing-person poster identifies Milwaukee Police Department as the investigating agency and lists NamUs case MP38020. Current third-party case resources also continue to associate MP38020 with Santos and his March 14, 2015 disappearance.
No publicly documented recovery of Santos was located in the sources reviewed.
Anyone with firsthand information about Santos’s disappearance, movements after March 14, 2015, or information that could establish what happened to him should provide that information directly to law enforcement rather than attempting to investigate individuals independently.
