Godofredo R. Masangya was 79 when he left his Chula Vista home about 4:30 p.m. on September 14, 2005, saying he was heading to the bus stop and planned to visit his bank at 3rd and H Streets. He never returned and there has been no activity on his bank accounts since that day.

Known as Fred, Masangya was described as active and alert and a frequent public transit rider. At the time he disappeared he wore a white jacket with a Los Angeles Lakers logo, beige or cream-colored pants, white socks, white sandals, and a white canvas hat. He had a full set of dentures, dark spots on his face, and a surgical scar on his chest. He also had diabetes and required medication, which made locating him urgent. He had worked as a teacher in the Philippines before moving to California. Local authorities do not suspect foul play.

Anyone who knew Fred, saw him in Chula Vista around September 14, 2005, or has information that might help should contact the Chula Vista Police Department.
