Julio Cesar Arias, 39, was last seen at his family’s home in North Hollywood on May 13, 2021 and was reported missing in late May 2021. NamUs entry MP149581 lists him as Hispanic/Latino, about 5 feet 9 inches and 150–160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The record places his last contact in Los Angeles County and names the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department as the investigating agency.

On May 29, 2021 Julio called his wife from another person’s phone and asked to be picked up at 25 Main Street in Vista; when his wife arrived he was gone. The person whose phone Julio used later told the family Julio said he wanted to be taken near the border to get to Tijuana. The Vista address Julio gave corresponds to a commercial/theater complex, fixing the general spot he named.

Anyone who saw Julio or spoke with him around mid- to late May 2021, especially near North Hollywood, Vista, or the border area, is asked to come forward with information.
