Joaquin Bernal-Valenzuela was last seen in Orondo, Washington, on or about January 1, 2014. He was 45 at the time, described as Hispanic/Latino and White/Caucasian, about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing between 200 and 230 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, but little information about leads or search efforts has been publicly shared, and the case has received minimal media attention.

The lack of concrete details has left friends and family without clear answers and the case unresolved. If anyone has information about Joaquin’s whereabouts in early January 2014 or recalls seeing him in Orondo around that time, please come forward.
