Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP59977) and 1 other source
Jorge Alberto Amador Cabrilla, 28, was last seen on November 5, 1999, in Calexico, California. He told his father that he was planning to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally but was uncertain whether he would be coming from Mexicali or Tijuana, Mexico. Since then, he has not been heard from, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Jorge is described as a Hispanic male, 5'10" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Despite the passage of time, there have been no significant leads regarding his disappearance, and his case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to seek information, hoping to resolve this cold case after over two decades.

His family and investigators urge anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to this long-standing mystery.
Last Seen: Nov 5, 1999
