Jose Chavez was 43 and living in San Diego when he was last seen on December 30, 1987. His disappearance is classified as endangered missing; at the time he was 5 feet 8 inches and about 170 pounds. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear, and no significant leads have emerged.

Chavez’s case has been entered in missing persons databases, including NamUs, and family and authorities have continued to seek answers. Despite advances in technology that have helped with other cold cases, there have been no reported breakthroughs in his case.

If anyone knew Jose, saw him around late December 1987 in San Diego, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward and share what you know.
