Missing Since: 2016-11-18 Location: Rosamond, California
Martinez was last seen in Rosamond, California on November 16, 2016. He left his home driving a White 2012 Nissan Frontier crew cab pickup truck with the California license plate number 8XT3227 at 4:30 p.m. Martinez lived with his niece at the time of his disappearance. He had said something to her about needing to speak to his boss to see if he had to work that day; his dementia had made him forget that he was retired. His family was able to contact him by cellular phone for a few days after his disappearance. The last time they spoke to him was on November 23; he talked to a niece in South Los Angeles, California and said he was on his way there, but he never arrived and has never been heard from again. It’s possible Martinez traveled to Tucson, Arizona after his disappearance; he had previously lived there for twenty years. His disappearance remains unsolved.
