Hector Lorenzo Martinez Jr., 32, was last seen the morning of August 12, 2008, leaving his brother’s home in Mesa, Arizona, around 6:00 a.m. He departed from a residence in the 500 block of West University Drive and was later seen boarding a red line bus headed to an unknown destination. He was wearing a gray t-shirt and blue jeans.

Hector is an enrolled member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. He has several distinctive tattoos: three dots near his left eye; the name Lehi on his back; Brown Pride on the back of one forearm; Trust No Man in vertical Chinese script on his neck; and the names Martinez, Careaga, and Peshlakai on his chest. The day before he vanished he was reportedly in a volatile argument with his girlfriend, who allegedly ran over his foot during the dispute. His family says it was out of character for him to leave without warning.

Mesa Police Department classifies him as an endangered missing person and is investigating, though few details have been released publicly. Does anyone have information about Hector’s movements that morning or remember seeing him board a red line bus in Mesa on August 12, 2008?
