Benito Rodriguez, 64, went missing from El Paso, Texas, on January 11, 2017. Family concern began when they lost contact with him and found his pets unattended, which was described as highly unusual behavior. A welfare check by police established he had not been seen or heard from since that day.

Rodriguez was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 145 pounds, Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes. The case has been treated as a long-term missing person matter; despite efforts by family and authorities, no substantial leads have been reported.

The El Paso Police Department’s Cold Case Unit has reexamined the case and worked with agencies including the Texas Rangers and the FBI in hopes new techniques might produce information, but no breakthroughs are noted. If anyone knew Benito’s routines, where he spent time, or has information about his whereabouts around January 11, 2017, please come forward.
