Jose De Jesus Ruiz Vazquez, born July 8, 1962, was last heard from in Salt Lake City on December 22, 2012, when he called family. He had been living a transient lifestyle at the time, and after that phone call no one reported seeing or hearing from him.

He is described as a Hispanic man about 5 feet 7 inches, 200–210 pounds, with black hair, hazel eyes and a scar on his lower lip. The Salt Lake City Police Department is the agency of record and the case remains an active missing person investigation. The content of his final call and his intended whereabouts that day have not been disclosed.

If anyone in Salt Lake City in December 2012 remembers seeing Jose, knew where he stayed, or has information about his movements after December 22, please come forward.
