Fidencio Mendoza was 74 when he was last seen in Houston, Texas, on January 1, 2014. He had a history of wandering and had previously been found in Arizona, and in this case there were indications he may have been headed to California. Mendoza left his Houston home that day and has not been in contact with his family since.

His disappearance is listed with NamUs and authorities have kept the case open. Family members say they are uncertain where he might be and continue to hope for answers. Given his age and past tendency to travel long distances, searches have crossed state lines.

If anyone saw Fidencio Mendoza after January 1, 2014, or knows where he might have gone, please share what you know with investigators.
