Jacob Wallace was 29 when he was last seen in Houston on January 17, 2014. He left a residence on Delwin Street between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. and got into a tan or gold 2009 GMC Yukon with a man named Adam Ortega. Wallace never returned and has not been found.

Ortega disappeared shortly after Wallace’s vanishing and briefly resurfaced two days later after crossing into Mexico on January 19, then returning to Texas the same day; Wallace was not with him at any point during that period. Both men had histories of involvement in illegal drug activity, and Wallace had a significant criminal record. Family members say they suspect foul play and believe Wallace’s association with Ortega may be connected to his disappearance. Wallace, known as Peanut, was also needed as a bone marrow donor for his sister, which added urgency to the search.

There has been no public resolution and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Jacob’s movements that day or has information about the tan or gold 2009 GMC Yukon or Adam Ortega’s activities around January 17–19, 2014, please come forward.
