Summary based on the NamUs case record (NC999660011) and
1 other sourceJosé Manuel Caal Xol, a 15-year-old boy, was last seen in Roanoke City, Virginia, on January 14, 2023. Publicly available missing-child records identify him as male and list his case under the name José Manuel Caal Xol, with the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse record number USVAVA23-1212. The available case information establishes the date and location of his disappearance but provides little publicly documented detail about the circumstances surrounding the moment he was last
seen. A published missing-child notice likewise identifies José as 15 and states that he was last seen in Roanoke City on January 14, 2023.
The information that has been made public about José is limited, leaving important parts of his story unclear. A missing-child listing gives his name as José Caal Xol and identifies him as a male, 15 years old, missing from Roanoke City, Virginia. That listing also describes him as having black hair and records a height of approximately 152 centimeters and a weight of approximately 48 kilograms. Because the available public records do not provide a detailed account of where José was immediately before he disappeared, whom he may have been with, what he was wearing at the time, or what circumstances led to the report of his disappearance, those details cannot be reliably reconstructed from the available sources.
The case was associated with the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse, and public records identify the Roanoke City Police Department as the investigating agency. The published notice sought information from anyone who might know something about José’s whereabouts and directed information to the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse and the Roanoke City Police Department. The continued appearance of the case in publicly accessible missing-child records underscores how little verified information has been released about what happened after José was last seen. There is no reliable public account in the sources reviewed describing a confirmed sighting after January 14, 2023, the circumstances of his disappearance, or a subsequent resolution of the case.
The public record therefore leaves José’s disappearance as a case marked by uncertainty rather than a clearly documented sequence of events. On January 14, 2023, a 15-year-old boy was reported missing from Roanoke City, Virginia, and his case was entered into Virginia’s missing-child records under the name José Manuel Caal Xol. Investigative and public-alert information has preserved the essential facts of his identity, age, gender, and last-known location, while much of the surrounding circumstance remains unavailable in reliable online sources. The overall case is that of José Manuel Caal Xol, a 15-year-old boy last seen in Roanoke City on January 14, 2023, whose disappearance has remained insufficiently explained in the publicly available record and whose whereabouts have not been clarified by the sources reviewed.Last Seen: Jan 14, 2023
