Mauricio Alfonso Ortiz, 47, was last seen on October 7, 2006, at the Get Happy Bar in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he worked as a bartender. He was not reported missing until November 8, 2006, when his landlord asked his family to clean out his apartment after Ortiz had failed to pay rent. Despite his reliable nature, he never picked up his last paycheck, and his disappearance remains unexplained.
On November 18, 2006, Ortiz's vehicle was found in a parking lot across from the courthouse. Authorities believe the car had been there for about two weeks, and evidence suggesting foul play was found inside the vehicle. His family has expressed concern, especially as it was out of character for him to leave without any contact. He had a history of depression, which may have been a contributing factor, but no concrete evidence has surfaced to explain what happened. His case remains unsolved and is still under investigation by the Corpus Christi Police Department.Last Seen: Oct 7, 2006
