Jesus Franco Zapata, a 70-year-old man, was last seen on May 31, 2007, in San Diego, California. On the day of his disappearance, Zapata had traveled to Tucson, Arizona, to meet a potential buyer for his car. He called his wife from a restaurant where the meeting was supposed to take place, but during the call, he abruptly ended the conversation, saying he had to go. That was the last time anyone heard from him.

After his disappearance, Zapata's family tried repeatedly to reach him via his cell phone, but they received no response. Zapata was described as 5'10" tall, weighing 210 pounds, with gray hair. He had several distinctive features, including scars on his chest and fingers, as well as tattoos, including a tattoo of Jesus' face. His family continues to search for answers, and his case remains unsolved.

Authorities are still investigating, and anyone with information is urged to contact the San Diego Police Department.
