Ray Fausto Lepe, a 32-year-old father from Salinas, California, was last seen in Gonzalez on July 19, 2002 after going there that evening to visit his daughter. He was expected to return to his home in Salinas but never arrived, and his family reported him missing when he failed to come home.

The morning after he disappeared, Lepe’s green 2001 Toyota Camry was found in the parking lot of his workplace in the 20 block of East Romie Lane in Salinas at 6:00 a.m. There was no sign of him at the scene and he has not been heard from since. He was described as 5 feet 11 inches and 185 pounds, and his loved ones believe foul play was involved.

If anyone has information about Ray’s movements in Gonzalez or Salinas around July 19–20, 2002, contact the Salinas Police Department.
