Justin Urrutia, 41, was last seen on the evening of Monday, November 6, 2023, when his mother dropped off work shirts at his home in Sugar Land, Texas. The next morning her calls went straight to voicemail. On Wednesday she was told by the Pecos County Sheriff’s Office that Justin’s 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe had been found crashed and abandoned about 200 yards up the side of a mesa on private property roughly seven and a half hours from his home.

The car contained Justin’s cell phone, wallet, credit cards, and keys; the sheriff initially reported no visible blood or signs of a struggle. After the vehicle was returned, Justin’s mother and a private investigator used Luminol and reported finding blood in the driver’s seat area, and the Sugar Land Police Department then took possession of the car. Credit card receipts trace a route from Sugar Land with stops in Seguin and San Antonio, but no witnesses have come forward who saw Justin or the vehicle. Extensive aerial and ground searches of the roughly 6,000-acre property produced no sign of him.

The case is unresolved, with conflicting accounts about evidence in the vehicle and no solid leads on Justin’s whereabouts. Did anyone in the Seguin or San Antonio areas see Justin or his Hyundai in early November 2023, or have information about the route he took?
