Jose Arturo Elizondo, a 25-year-old man, was last seen on May 13, 1984, in Hereford, Texas. On that day, he was in the company of his friend, Tommy Valdez, and they were traveling in a white Ford Pinto station wagon. After that, Elizondo vanished and has not been seen since. There are concerns that foul play may have been involved, although the circumstances remain unclear. His disappearance has been classified as an endangered missing person case.

At the time of his disappearance, Elizondo stood between 5'9" and 5'11", weighed approximately 140 to 150 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. He also wore eyeglasses and might have had a mustache. Despite efforts from law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers, no significant leads have surfaced, and his case remains unsolved.

Elizondo's disappearance has left his family searching for answers for decades, and authorities continue to seek any information that might lead to the resolution of his case. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact the Hereford Police Department or the Texas Rangers.
