John Jairo Gamboa Castillo was 39 when he was last seen on July 1, 2009, in Houston, Texas. He was reportedly traveling to Houston and never been seen again. He is described as a Black/African American male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 190 pounds, with black hair, a scar on his forehead, a scar on the left side of his face, and a dimple.

When he disappeared he was carrying a passport in the name of Juan Carlos Bonilla Castillo. Very few details are available about the circumstances of his disappearance, and investigators say the case has gone cold. His family continues to search for answers and hopes for new leads.

If anyone saw John around July 1, 2009, or has information about the passport name or his movements in Houston, please come forward.
