Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP53556) and 5 other sources

Jesus Fernandez Salazar, 85, was last seen on October 12, 2018, in Oxnard, California. He suffers from diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, which placed him at high risk. On the day he disappeared, he told a friend that his cousin would pick him up to take him to Tijuana. After receiving a phone call, he left the house and vanished shortly afterward. An investigation revealed that someone else, not his cousin, had made the call and driven him toward Tijuana, but his actual arrival there has not been confirmed.

Salazar was last seen wearing a blue jacket, blue jeans, and carrying a black backpack. He may have used the aliases Jesus Salasar Fernandez or J. Jesus Fernandez Salasar. Despite efforts to locate him, no significant leads have emerged, and his case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Oxnard Police Department, as his family continues to seek answers.
