Jose Luis Gonzalez, a 52-year-old father from Milton-Freewater, Oregon, disappeared after contact on December 29, 2005, while he was in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He reportedly told people he was heading to a local store and never returned. His family describes him as Hispanic and Caucasian, between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall, 165 to 175 pounds, with black hair but bald on top, brown eyes, and distinctive upper-arm tattoos including a skull, barbed wire, and a devil.

He was driving a highly modified 1998 blue Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a nine-inch lift on the rear, 38-inch tires, and Oregon plate VVD152. Neither Gonzalez nor the truck has been found. A missing person report was filed with the Walla Walla Police Department on January 5, 2006, and DNA from his daughter has been submitted and remains on file.

The cross-border circumstances and lack of leads have left the case unresolved and the family without closure. Does anyone in or near Reynosa in late December 2005 remember seeing Jose or that distinctive truck?
