Torres was last seen in Biddeford, Maine at 2:00 a.m. on May 21, 1999. He was out with friends that morning and was last seen when they dropped him off. Torres said he was looking for a ride to North Conway, New Hampshire. He has never been heard from again.

Torres's family reported him missing on May 24, after his girlfriend notified them that he had failed to show up for work. He was a student at Framingham State College in Massachusetts in 1999, and resided in Denmark, Maine when he was not in school. After his disappearance, his family asked for and received a certificate of death for him. Foul play is suspected in Torres's case, which remains unsolved.
