Erik Jose Arellano, 36, was last seen at his Porterville, California, residence on September 12, 2007. His wife reported him missing, but investigators soon learned there was an outstanding arrest warrant in an unrelated criminal matter and that he may have been avoiding law enforcement.

Authorities do not consider the disappearance suspicious and believe he voluntarily left to evade contact with police. It is suspected he fled the Porterville Police Department’s jurisdiction. His whereabouts remain unknown and the case is an open missing person investigation with no active leads indicating foul play.

If anyone has information about where Erik might have gone after September 12, 2007, please come forward.
