Francisco Munoz-Romero, 49, was last seen in Santa Ana, California, on January 25, 2009. He told family he planned to return to Mexico in February 2009, but no contact was made after his disappearance. Family say he was responsible and neither drank nor smoked; an uncle later gave an unconfirmed account claiming he saw Francisco in Santa Ana appearing in poor condition and drinking, which the family disputes.

At the time he vanished Francisco worked as a sawmill operator handling tree cutting, a job detail that led some to describe his profession as landscaping. He was living alone in Santa Ana when he disappeared. Despite early leads, there have been no significant updates and the family remains without closure.

If anyone knew Francisco, saw him in Santa Ana around January 2009, or has information about his planned travel to Mexico, please come forward.
