Jose Jimenez Jimenez, a 47-year-old chef and well-known figure in the Phoenix culinary community, was last seen leaving his workplace after a Saturday shift. He texted his wife at 10:19 p.m. to say he was rolling home on his bicycle; that was his final communication. The next morning a utility worker found his body in the Arizona Canal near 7th Avenue and Dunlap Avenue.

Jose was a husband, father of two and a grandfather, remembered for his generosity and work at several local eateries. His family said he was an avid, experienced cyclist who would not normally take the canal route. His bicycle and cell phone were missing from the scene, and he was wearing a Chicago Blackhawks hockey jersey when last seen. A preliminary medical examiner report listed drowning as the cause of death with alcohol intoxication a contributing factor. His family raised concerns about investigative handling, including the backpack being returned to them without DNA testing.

Did anyone in the Phoenix area see Jose riding that night or notice his bicycle or jersey after he disappeared?
