Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP98195)
In the autumn of 2022, a young man named Jose Alejandro Reyes, new to the Knoxville, Tennessee area, was working to build a life for himself. At 21 years old, he had recently moved to the city and found a job in the residential construction industry. His days were spent on job sites, contributing to the growing landscape of the Knoxville area. As a Hispanic male, he sometimes utilized an interpreter, who knew he was dedicated to his work, even if the specific name of his construction company
was not widely known. He was described as being 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
On the evening of Sunday, November 6, 2022, Jose was at his apartment. Between 8:00 and 9:00 PM, he was seen wearing black pants, a white t-shirt, white shoes, and a Hurley brand ball cap. He got into his vehicle, a 2010 gray Honda Accord with an unknown license plate number, and drove away from his residence. That was the last time he was seen. He did not return to his apartment, and as time passed with no word, concern for his well-being grew. The Knoxville Police Department was notified the following day, and an official investigation into his disappearance began.
The circumstances surrounding Jose Reyes's disappearance remain unclear. He was a newcomer to Knoxville, navigating a new city and a new job. His sudden departure from his apartment that evening and his failure to return have left his loved ones with unanswered questions. Authorities have been seeking information from the public to piece together his movements and whereabouts after he drove away in his gray Honda Accord. The case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing, leaving behind a void of information and a community hoping for answers and a safe return.Last Seen: Nov 6, 2022
