Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP42948) and 3 other sources
John Evodio Nunez, a 66-year-old man from Livermore, California, disappeared on November 29, 1982. Nunez had embarked on a business trip to Mexico, boarding a bus to Tijuana, with his final destination being Mexicali. He was never heard from again after that trip. His disappearance has remained a mystery for over four decades, with few details available regarding what might have happened during his journey.

At the time of his disappearance, Nunez was described as a Hispanic male standing 5'9" and weighing approximately 225 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. Nunez had several distinguishing marks, including a chest scar from a bypass surgery, a long scar on his left leg from a procedure to restore an artery, and an indentation on his left elbow from a poorly healed broken arm. He also had discoloration above his left eye. When last seen, he was wearing a black hat, a beige and green jacket, a black turtleneck shirt, black slacks, and a wedding band.

Despite multiple efforts by authorities, no conclusive leads have surfaced in Nunez's case, leaving it unresolved. His family and investigators continue to seek information, and the Livermore Police Department remains the point of contact for any new developments.
