The FBI announced Tuesday it is offering a $10,000 reward for any information that results in the location of a Boston man last seen in Portland, Maine, almost 19 years ago.

Miguel Oliveras, of Hyde Park, disappeared when he was 24 years old, investigators said. He was last seen around 1 a.m. on Sept. 2, 2006 at the Platinum Plus Club on Riverside Street in Portland, wearing a grey camouflage long-sleeve shirt with a white t-shirt over it, green cargo shorts, and white sneakers.

He has tattoos on his arms, neck, back, shoulder, and hand, according to authorities.

The FBI said there have been no reported sightings or contact by Oliveras since he went missing.

“Nothing has changed,” his mother, Myrna Oliveras, said in a statement. “More frustration, more anger, it has been a long time. I just want to find him and bring him home. I need people to come forward.”

According to Boston 25 News, Oliveras was visiting his on-again, off-again girlfriend, who was a dancer at Platinum Plus strip club, when he was asked to leave the establishment. A surveillance camera captured the moment, which is the last known image of him.

“Once he’s escorted out on closed-circuit TV. You see him kind of walk into the parking lot and then never seen again. Ever,” Portland Detective Lieutenant Nick Goodman told Boston 25.

The FBI is asking the public to review and share the missing person poster for Oliveras on social media to help locate him or his remains.

“Despite exhaustive investigative efforts by law enforcement over the last two decades, we are unable to locate Miguel Oliveras,” Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division, said in a statement. “Our goal with this $10,000 reward is to incentivize anyone with information about Miguel’s whereabouts to come forward so we can find him and provide his family with some much-needed closure.”

Anyone with information is being asked to call the Portland Police Department at 207-814-8584 or FBI Boston at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tips can also be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov.
