Jose Rodriguez, a 63-year-old man, was last seen on March 5, 1993, in Los Angeles County, California. He disappeared under unclear circumstances and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Rodriguez was described as 5'5" tall, weighing 150 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing gray pants, a gray and white shirt, a gray jacket, and maroon boots. Notably, he has distinct tattoos: flowers on his left forearm and a heart pierced by a sword on his right arm.

Rodriguez was last seen at his place of business, and there have been few leads in his case. Despite being missing for decades, his case remains open with authorities still seeking any information that could shed light on his whereabouts.
