Jesus Franco Zapata, 70, was last seen May 31, 2007, after traveling from San Diego to Tucson to meet a potential buyer for his car. He called his wife from the restaurant where the meeting was to take place and abruptly ended the call saying he had to go; that was the last confirmed contact. Family later tried repeatedly to reach him by cell phone with no response.

Zapata is described as 5 feet 10 inches, 210 pounds, with gray hair, scars on his chest and fingers, and several tattoos including a tattoo of Jesus’ face. His family continues to seek answers and the San Diego Police Department is investigating.

If anyone was in Tucson or the restaurant on May 31, 2007, or has information about Zapata’s movements that day, please come forward.
