Joe Gabriel Hernandez was 14 when he was last seen in Chandler, Arizona, on January 14, 2025. Public information about his disappearance is unusually limited: authorities have not released a specific street, school, residence, or any description of what he was wearing or carrying the day he vanished. That leaves a large gap in the timeline before his case entered a missing-child investigation.

Officials have advised that Joe may be traveling with an adult female and a juvenile male, though neither is publicly identified and their relationship to him is not described. Investigators have also listed Mexico as a possible destination, without providing details about why that location is considered or any confirmed sightings there. His NCMEC case number is 2051150 and NCIC number M868251711, and the Chandler Police Department is the contact for information at 480-782-4130; NCMEC’s hotline is 1-800-843-5678. No public notice states that he has been recovered.

If anyone in Chandler or surrounding areas remembers seeing Joe on or around January 14, 2025, or has information about the adult female or juvenile male mentioned, please contact Chandler Police or NCMEC with what was seen or known.
