Silvestre Reyes Hidalgo, 38, was last seen on March 12, 1995, in Watsonville, California. On the day he disappeared he left home intoxicated and described as acting irrationally, reportedly threatening to jump into the nearby Pajaro River. That was the last confirmed sighting; he has not been heard from since.

Hidalgo, also known as El Gato and Chamaco, was 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighed about 165 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. He suffered from a behavioral disorder. Authorities have searched but have not recovered a body or found significant clues to explain his fate; investigators believe he may have drowned.

The Watsonville Police Department continues to list the case as open. If anyone has information about where Silvestre Hidalgo went or what happened to him on March 12, 1995, please contact the police.
