Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35964) and 2 other sources
In the spring of 2016, a family began a search for a loved one that continues to this day. On May 15, 2016, 31-year-old Jesus Enrique Pacheco-Rabago was last seen in Phoenix, Arizona. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Hispanic/Latino and White/Caucasian male, standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 170 pounds. He had black hair, which he wore in a short style, and black eyes. He also had a beard at the time he went missing. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has been handling the investigation into his disappearance since it was reported on November 5, 2016.

Distinctive physical characteristics have been noted in the hope of identifying Jesus. He has a large scar on one of his arms, though it is not specified which one. Additionally, he has a metal plate in his elbow, which is accompanied by a scar approximately six inches long. His eyes are described as being big. These details, along with his general physical description, have been circulated to aid in the efforts to locate him. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain vague, with official sources simply stating he was last seen in Phoenix.

The investigation into what happened to Jesus Pacheco-Rabago is ongoing. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office holds the case file, number 16030776. To assist with identification efforts, DNA from his brother has been collected and is on file. The case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP35964. Despite the passage of time, the search for answers continues, with law enforcement and his family hoping for a resolution to his long and painful absence.
