Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP75091) and 3 other sources
Gabriel Jose Alvillar, a 35-year-old man, was last seen on April 1, 2019, in Desert Hot Springs, California. Alvillar, who is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, stood between 5'9" and 6'1" tall and weighed approximately 200 to 215 pounds. On the day of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants. Distinctive features include a scar on his back and another on his left elbow. He may have also used the first name "Bob" and could have spelled his last name as "Avillar."

Gabriel vanished without a trace, and his case has been classified as missing with very few details available regarding his last known movements or what might have happened to him. His disappearance has puzzled both investigators and his family, and efforts to locate him have not yielded significant developments. Despite the lack of information, the Desert Hot Springs Police Department continues to investigate, and the public is urged to come forward with any potential leads that could help solve the case.
