Abraham Gutierrez, a 72-year-old transient man, was last seen on June 8, 2008, in San Diego, California. He struggled with a gambling addiction and had told a friend, Hector Munoz, that he owed money to loan sharks and needed funds to repay them. Gutierrez received social security checks through Munoz’s address but two checks went unclaimed, prompting concern. Investigators and acquaintances checked places he’d stayed before, including a hotel in Mexico, but no trace was found.

Anyone who knew Abraham, saw him after June 8, 2008, or has information about his movements is asked to come forward.
