Jose Angel Fuentes, 31, of Centerton, Arkansas, was last heard from in June 2006. He phoned his wife Rubianna and said he was in Elgin, Illinois, and driving to Chicago to give a friend a ride. Nothing further was heard from him after that call.
The next day his gold Honda with Arkansas plates was found abandoned in Rapid City, Illinois. Fuentes was described as a 6 feet tall Hispanic male, about 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, several tattoos (three dots on his right middle finger, a cross with thorns on his left pectoral, and a winged man on his back), and a mole in the center of his nose. At last contact he was believed to be wearing a large white Hanes t-shirt, Levi’s 32x34 blue jeans, size 11 white K-Swiss tennis shoes, prescription glasses, and sometimes a baseball cap; he had a silver Fossil watch and a wedding ring engraved RF.
The Centerton Police Department filed the initial report on June 28, 2006, and the case was entered into NamUs. No significant public leads have been reported and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Jose, saw his car, or has information about his movements in Elgin, Chicago, or Rapid City in June 2006, please share what is known.
