Joseph Rosa, a young man whose age has been reported as both 17 and 23, was last seen on June 6, 2020, in Orlando, Florida. He is described as a Hispanic male, 5'10" tall and weighing approximately 170 pounds, with brown eyes and short black hair. At the time of his disappearance, it is believed he was in the company of his father, 54-year-old Thomas Rosa.
The circumstances surrounding Joseph's disappearance indicate that he and his father were traveling from Orlando to McAllen, Texas, with the intention of crossing into Reynosa, Mexico. They were reportedly driving a red GMC pickup truck. Concerns were raised when they did not reach their destination, and communication with them ceased. A troubling development in the case was the discovery of Thomas Rosa's phone by a stranger in Mexico.
A GoFundMe campaign was initiated by Joseph's sister to raise funds to aid in the search for her brother and father. The family expressed frustration with the initial police response and sought to fund their own efforts, including travel to the Mexican Embassy to facilitate the investigation. The case has been featured in media, including an episode of "In Pursuit with John Walsh," to bring wider public awareness to Joseph's disappearance. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is also involved in the case, with the case number listed as 1393292. Despite these efforts, Joseph Rosa's whereabouts remain unknown.Last Seen: Jun 6, 2020
