Luis Valdes, a 60-year-old man from Gibsonton, Florida, was last seen the morning of September 1, 2022. A friend saw him at a local gas station about 7:00 a.m.; he said he was heading to work and has not been heard from since. Local authorities, including the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, continue to investigate but very few details about his movements after that sighting have emerged.

Valdes is described as a Black male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 160 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. Investigators note he may sometimes use aliases, including Jose Acosta or Jose Luis F. Valdes-Zauznab, which could complicate locating him. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear and no foul play has been confirmed; his case is classified as a missing person investigation.

If anyone saw Luis after the September 1 sighting or knows of places he frequented, please share what you know with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
