Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12812) and 3 other sources
Mauricio Aldo Bejarano, a 42-year-old man from San Diego, California, went missing on July 8, 2011. He was last seen departing from Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California, piloting his red and white 1975 Piper Warrior single-engine airplane with the tail number N33810. Bejarano was reportedly en route to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. However, it is unknown whether he reached his destination, as he was never heard from again, and his plane also disappeared.

Authorities tracked his phone's last signal to a cell tower near Rosario, Mexico, but despite extensive searches, neither Bejarano nor his aircraft have been located. His case remains unsolved, and investigators continue to seek information. Bejarano is described as a Hispanic male, 5'9", 155 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive scar on his forehead.

The El Cajon Police Department remains the lead agency handling his case. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities.
