Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP79005) and 5 other sources
Gustavo Duenas, a 31-year-old man, was last seen on September 5, 2001, in Reedley, California. Gustavo had left his sister's residence without taking any personal belongings, including his prescription medication, which he typically required. According to his family, it was not unusual for him to leave for short periods, but he always returned home. When his family couldn't reach him, they became concerned, as it was out of character for him to remain out of contact for so long.

There were speculations that Gustavo may have traveled to Washington State, but no concrete evidence has surfaced to support this. Little is known about the circumstances of his disappearance, and he has not been heard from since that day. Gustavo is described as a Hispanic male, standing 6 feet tall, weighing 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved, and authorities are still seeking any information that could help resolve his disappearance. The Reedley Police Department is the lead agency investigating his case.
