Jose Rosa Gonzalez-Cortez was 31 years old when he was last reported seen in Long Beach, California, on February 10, 2004. Online missing-person records identify him as male and list his NamUs case as MP30476, with the date of last contact recorded as February 10, 2004. The available public information describes a quiet and limited set of circumstances: Jose was last seen in Long Beach and was reported to have left on foot.
There are no detailed public accounts describing where he may have been headed, who he may have been meeting, or whether anything unusual was noticed immediately before he disappeared.
At the time he was listed missing, Jose was described as approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 140 pounds, with brown hair; other public listings also note brown eyes and a possible weight range of 140 to 150 pounds. The sparse public record suggests that the case depended heavily on basic identifying information and the simple but deeply concerning fact that he had left on foot and did not remain in contact as expected. With so few circumstances publicly available, the uncertainty surrounding his disappearance would have been especially difficult for those who knew him, because the record does not provide a clear direction of travel, a confirmed destination, or a publicly documented explanation for why contact stopped.
The investigating agency has reported that Jose Gonzalez-Cortez has been found alive, meaning this is no longer an active missing-person case. The exact date and circumstances of his being located are not available in the public online records reviewed, so those details remain unclear from open sources. What is publicly known is that Jose’s case began as the disappearance of a 31-year-old man from Long Beach after he was last seen on foot on February 10, 2004, and for a time his name was carried in missing-person databases with only a small amount of information available to the public. In overview, this case reflects a disappearance with limited publicly released details, later resolved with the most important outcome reported by the investigating agency: Jose was found alive.Last Seen: Feb 10, 2004
