Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12431) and 8 other sources
Jesse Gable, a 34-year-old man, was last seen on August 19, 2010, in a rural area near Summit Road and Loma Chiquita Road in unincorporated Los Gatos, California. On that day, Jesse had been helping a friend move to a residence in the area. Afterward, he reportedly walked away from the location on his own and has not been seen or heard from since. Jesse had been living a transient lifestyle, often frequenting areas around San Jose, particularly near the Almaden Expressway.

Jesse’s disappearance raised serious concerns due to his medical condition; he was diabetic and required daily insulin, which he did not have with him at the time of his disappearance. His parents, who regularly provided him with his medication, had not seen him since before August 19. Despite searches, no contact has been made, and Jesse's whereabouts remain a mystery.

Some partial remains believed to belong to Jesse were later recovered, but much about his fate remains unclear. His family and law enforcement continue to seek answers, and his case is still considered active and unsolved. Anyone with information about his disappearance is urged to contact local authorities.
