Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51077) and 4 other sources
Jose Vaca Sanchez, a 49-year-old Hispanic male, was last seen on August 3, 2014, after leaving his home in Moorpark, California. Described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 220 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, Jose was last known to be wearing blue pants, a white t-shirt, and a blue shirt with the name "Vaca" printed on the chest. His sudden disappearance remains unresolved, and despite ongoing efforts by authorities and his family, no new leads have emerged.

His case has been registered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) and continues to be monitored by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. Investigators are still urging anyone with information to come forward, hoping to provide his family with closure.
