Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP138070) and 4 other sources
Ervins Jautaikis was 47 years old when he was reported missing from Hampton, New Hampshire, on April 16, 1995. Public missing-person listings identify him as a White/Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall. NamUs lists his case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP138070, with Hampton, New Hampshire, as the place of last contact.

The available case information describes a sudden and troubling disappearance during the early morning hours. Ervins reportedly left work unexpectedly in Hampton, and his vehicle was found hours later on Ocean Boulevard in Seabrook, New Hampshire. His personal belongings were reportedly still inside the vehicle. After that point, he was not seen or heard from again, leaving his family, loved ones, and investigators without the answers they needed.

Ervins was also known by the nickname “Jose.” Public listings differ slightly on his weight, with NamUs-related information placing him in the range of about 200 to 215 pounds, while the New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management listing gives a weight of 250 pounds. The available public information does not provide a clothing description for the day he disappeared, and no distinctive physical features are listed in the public summaries found.

The Hampton Police Department is identified as the investigating agency, and the case has been associated with Hampton PD case number 95-430-OF. Public case information states that he was reported missing on April 16, 1995, the same date listed as his last contact. The location details place the case in Rockingham County, with Hampton as the missing-from location and Seabrook as the place where the vehicle was later found.

A later family obituary for Jacob Richard Jautaikis provides a small but meaningful glimpse into Ervins’s life beyond the missing-person listing. It describes Jacob as an executive chef and notes that he was proud of the work because his father, Ervins Jautaikis, had also been a chef. That detail suggests Ervins was remembered by his family not only through the pain of his disappearance, but also through the life he lived, the work he did, and the influence he had on those who came after him.

Publicly available summaries do not provide a clear explanation for why Ervins left work, what may have happened after his vehicle was found, or whether any confirmed sightings occurred afterward. The most consistent public detail is that he disappeared after leaving work unexpectedly and that his vehicle was recovered in Seabrook with his belongings inside. In the absence of a publicly stated resolution, his disappearance remains a deeply painful unanswered case for those who knew and loved him.
