Hector Noel Rivera, 21, was last seen leaving his home in Santa Ana, California, on January 27, 2000, driving a black 1999 Chevrolet S-10 pickup with California plate 6B31169. He was reportedly possibly headed to San Francisco or West Hollywood. The truck has never been recovered and there has been no activity on his bank account or cell phone since that day.

Descriptions vary: Hector may have been wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black shorts and white New Balance shoes, or a red long-sleeved Abercrombie shirt and jeans. He wore a silver Century High School class ring and a Guess watch. Distinctive brown eyes may have been altered with gray contact lenses.

Despite law enforcement and family efforts, no significant leads have emerged and both Hector and his vehicle remain missing. If anyone has information about Hector Rivera or the 1999 Chevrolet S-10, please contact the Santa Ana Police Department.
