Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5088) and 3 other sources
Mario Angel Gastellum-Villa, a 36-year-old man, was last seen on April 30, 2005, at his home in Hesperia, California. His wife reported that she left the house for a short time, and when she returned, Mario was gone. Oddly, he had left behind his clothing and vehicle, and there were no immediate signs of foul play.

Mario was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans at the time of his disappearance. Despite investigations by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, little information has surfaced about his whereabouts. His case remains unsolved, and authorities have classified it as an endangered missing person case.

Efforts to locate Mario have been ongoing, but few leads have emerged over the years. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery, and the search continues.
