Jose Manuel Quintero Angulo was 40 and living in Modesto, California, when he disappeared in February 2010. Records list February 6, 2010, as his official last-contact date, but the investigative narrative says his brother last spoke with him on February 26 at about 8:00 p.m.; no explanation for that discrepancy is provided. Angulo had come to California from Mexico about eleven months before he was reported missing.

Family attempts to reach him by phone reportedly went to voicemail for several days, and eventually his telephone service was disconnected for nonpayment. Investigators list him as about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds, with short black hair, brown eyes and a crooked left elbow. There is no documented clothing, vehicle, confirmed sightings after communications stopped, or any explanation for his disappearance.

The case is tied closely to the disappearance of his wife, Karina Yadira Angulo Garcia, whose last-contact date is recorded as February 26, 2010. If anyone knew Jose or has information about where he and Karina might have gone, please share what is known with the Modesto Police Department, case MP10018102.
