Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50854) and 4 other sources
Jose Asuncion Gonzalez, a 67-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen on June 19, 2018, in Long Beach, California. On the evening of that day, he left a relative's home at around 8:00 p.m., driving a white 2001 Ford Expedition. Gonzalez was heading north, likely toward the Bay Area, taking Interstate 5, a route he frequently traveled. Gonzalez was in the early stages of dementia, which added to concerns for his safety, as he could become disoriented during his journey.

He was wearing a blue short-sleeved button-down shirt, faded black jeans, and black shoes at the time of his disappearance, and he had a black watch on his left wrist. Jose's vehicle was discovered abandoned months later, on November 26, 2018, in the desert north of Blythe, California, but there was no sign of him.

Despite extensive efforts, Gonzalez has never been located, and his case remains unsolved. The Alameda Police Department continues to investigate the case, and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in bringing closure to his family.
