Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28869) and 7 other sources
Jerry Castillo Jr., a 21-year-old from El Paso, Texas, went missing on March 21, 2015. He was last seen in the early morning hours after an argument with his girlfriend, during which he exited their car to take a walk and cool off. The location where he was last spotted was along the 11600 block of Pellicano Drive, close to George Dieter Drive. His phone was later found abandoned under a bus stop bench near this area, and no further contact has been made with him since then.

Castillo had just recently moved back to El Paso after working in Odessa, Texas, and had started a new job. Despite the initial confusion about his disappearance, his case is now considered suspicious, and his family believes that foul play might have been involved. Jerry was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, black long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and black Converse sneakers. He also has distinctive tattoos, including a green Rat Fink cartoon character on his left upper arm and a cross with "R.I.P. Josefina" on his left forearm.

Authorities continue to investigate the case and urge anyone with information to come forward, hoping for leads that could bring closure to his family.
