Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP115161) and 4 other sources
Jose Luis Elias, a 26-year-old man, was last seen on December 3, 2023, in Playa De Rosarito, Baja California. He had visited his estranged father, Jose Luis Elias Alvarez, and left his father’s home around 11 PM. His last known location was Boulevard Adelfo López Mateos, a busy area where he had been enjoying the local nightlife. After that, he vanished without a trace. His family has been searching tirelessly, but the local authorities' efforts have been insufficient, leading his mother, Maria Ceja, to seek outside help, including raising funds to hire a private investigator.

Jose was described as 5'11" with dark brown eyes, sporting a buzz-cut hairstyle. He also has a chest tattoo that reads "Family is Forever," which serves as a meaningful connection to his loved ones. His family and friends have been deeply affected by his disappearance, and they continue to raise awareness in hopes of finding him.

There was a potential tip about Jose being seen in a police vehicle on the night of his disappearance, but this has not been confirmed. His mother continues to make emotional public pleas, hoping for any information that could lead to her son's return.

If anyone has any information, they are encouraged to contact the relevant authorities or contribute to the ongoing efforts to find him.
