Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65577) and 3 other sources
Benito Rodriguez, a 64-year-old man from El Paso, Texas, went missing on January 11, 2017. Rodriguez's disappearance was first noted when his family grew concerned after they lost contact with him and discovered his pets had been left unattended, which was highly unusual behavior for him. This prompted a welfare check by the police, who confirmed that Rodriguez had not been seen or heard from since that day.

Rodriguez was described as being 5'8" tall and weighing around 145 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He is Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes. Despite efforts by his family and authorities, no substantial leads have surfaced in the years following his disappearance. The case has since been categorized as a long-term missing person case, with little information available about what may have happened to him.

The case has been part of ongoing investigations in El Paso, where the local police department has a dedicated Cold Case Unit that works on unsolved cases, including missing persons. This team reexamines evidence and collaborates with agencies like the Texas Rangers and the FBI, hoping that new forensic techniques might offer clues to solve cases like Rodriguez's. However, as of now, no breakthroughs have been reported in his case, leaving his family still searching for answers.
