Jesus Fernandez Salazar, 85, was last seen October 12, 2018, in Oxnard, California. He has diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, conditions that placed him at high risk when he disappeared. On the day he vanished he told a friend his cousin would pick him up to take him to Tijuana; after receiving a phone call he left the house and disappeared soon afterward.

Investigators determined the call came from someone other than the cousin and that Salazar was driven in the direction of Tijuana, but there is no confirmation he actually arrived there. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, blue jeans and carrying a black backpack. He may also be known as Jesus Salasar Fernandez or J. Jesus Fernandez Salasar. No significant leads have emerged and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone has information about Jesus Salazar’s movements after October 12, 2018, please contact the Oxnard Police Department.
