Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP85359) and 2 other sources
Zacery Ellias Aparicio, a 24-year-old Latino male, was last seen on May 28, 2018, in Odessa, Texas. He disappeared under unclear circumstances, and few details have been made public regarding the case. At the time of his disappearance, Zacery was described as being 5'3" tall and weighing around 130 to 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Zacery's case is linked to the disappearance of Robert Ruiz Jr., a 27-year-old who was last heard from on June 1, 2018. Both men were reportedly together around the time of their disappearances. The cases were officially entered into the NamUs database in 2021. Despite the passing years, there has been little media coverage or new developments, and both cases remain unsolved.

Authorities continue to investigate, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Ector County Sheriff’s Office.
