Jose Domingo Alvarado Jr., 59, left his home in Yuba City, California on January 21, 2021 and was last heard from after a traffic stop the next day on Interstate 40 near milepost 168 in Arizona. At that stop he was headed east toward Flagstaff. He was driving a white 2016 Kia Forte, California plate 7YEH979, and has not been seen since.

Alvarado is Hispanic, about 5 feet 10 inches and 220 pounds, with graying hair, brown eyes and glasses. Distinctive marks include a scar on his lower left forearm, a Libra tattoo on his chest, an unknown tattoo on his upper left arm and a silver upper right tooth. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, black pants, cowboy boots and a gold necklace. His family says he traveled to Northern California, the Bakersfield area and Las Vegas. In October 2021 the Kia was found abandoned in a forested area north of Jacob Lake in Coconino County, Arizona, but Alvarado has not been located.

Anyone with information about his movements after the Interstate 40 stop or who saw the vehicle near Jacob Lake is asked to come forward.
