In the summer of 2012, a young man named Gilbert Rojas Jr., a 20-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, vanished, leaving his family searching for answers. The last confirmed contact anyone had with him was on July 15, 2012, through a Facebook message. At the time of his disappearance, Gilbert, also known as 'Gillie,' was reportedly on his way to a concert in the Phoenix area.
There are conflicting accounts regarding the timeline of his last communications; some sources indicate his final contact was the Facebook message in July, while others suggest he sent text messages to his mother until September 29, 2012. He was believed to be driving his 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier with Arizona license plate number AWV1322. Since that time, there has been no further contact with any of his family members.
Gilbert is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 6'0' and 6'1' and weighing between 150 and 165 pounds. He has several distinct tattoos that his family hoped would help in identifying him. These include the letters 'A' and 'Z' on his left and right ears, respectively, the name 'DIANA' on his right forearm, and a depiction of three skulls with the phrase 'hear no evil see no evil' on his left forearm. He also has 'est' tattooed on his right tricep and '1992' on his left tricep. Additionally, both of his earlobes are pierced.
The circumstances surrounding Gilbert's disappearance remain unclear, and few details have been made public over the years. The official report with the Phoenix Police Department was not filed until March 24, 2013. His case is listed in national databases for missing persons, and his family has provided DNA samples to aid in the search. The lack of any significant leads or new information has left his loved ones in a painful state of limbo, holding onto hope for his return while facing the harsh reality of his prolonged absence. The case of Gilbert Rojas Jr. is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind a void and a community searching for closure.Last Seen: Jul 15, 2012
