Pedro Martinez Mendoza, also recorded as Pedro Martinez-Ramirez and once referred to as Pedro Martinez-Hernandez, was 67 when he was last seen on April 24, 2018, in Chesapeake, Virginia. He lived in an assisted-living residence and reportedly left that facility on foot wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers. He was described as about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes.

Pedro was considered a dependent adult and reportedly had a heart condition, details that raised particular concern after he failed to return and no confirmed sightings were reported. The Chesapeake Police Department logged the case under agency number 2018-57040, and the disappearance was entered in a national missing-person database as MP43386; the agency report is dated May 2, 2018.

Name variations in records may have complicated outreach and recognition efforts.

If anyone lived, worked or traveled through Chesapeake in April 2018 and remembers seeing an older man matching Pedro’s description, can you share what you recall?
