Victor Maranjo Medina, 29, of San Jose, California, was last seen the evening of April 20, 2020. His last known location was Covelo, California, where he worked in the cannabis industry; he spoke with family on video at about 10:26 PM that night. Medina is a Hispanic male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 170 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and tattoos reading Shark City on his right arm and SJ on his left arm.

Medina was reported missing to the San Jose Police Department on April 24, 2020. The day after his last contact a friend and co-worker, Benjamin Chavez Reynoso, arrived at Medina’s San Jose home driving one of Medina’s vehicles and told Medina’s wife that Medina was following him, but Medina never arrived. Reynoso, who had been living with the family, collected his belongings and has been unreachable since. Medina’s truck was later found burned on a rural road outside Hollister, and on April 29 the family received a $10,000 ransom demand in Spanish threatening harm if money was not paid. Medina had previously told family he feared for his safety because of armed people where he worked.

What did anyone see in Covelo or Hollister around April 20–29, 2020 that might help explain where Victor went or who took his vehicle?
