San Diego police said Ortigoza was last seen on Jan. 24, just before 3 p.m., entering the U.S. at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. Ortigoza was crossing the border to conduct business of behalf of his employer, Especies y Granos de Baja California, police said. He hasn’t been heard from since, and has not been in contact with his family or his employer.

At first I thought he was crossing into Mexico so I thought "danger!!" But now I see it was the opposite - crossing into the US. How weird. (JMO)


Wonder if he didn't like his job and decided to abandon it. He's a Mexican national. Maybe he wanted to stay here so when he crossed the border he purposely didn't go back to Mexico.

Hope he's ok!!

Wife Pleads for Return of Missing Husband: ‘I Need Him’

A woman whose husband has been missing since last month after crossing into San Diego at the U.S.-Mexico border made a tearful, heartfelt plea for his safe return Tuesday. In Spanish, between tears, Denise Renteria begged anyone who might know anything about her husband’s whereabouts to please come forward and contact police. “We’re asking for your help from the bottom of our hearts,” she said, crying. “We’re a family that has always been together. I need him, as a husband, as the father of my child. Please help me.”

Border Report: ‘Disappearance Is Worse than Death’​


Students read aloud from redacted testimonies and one man, Fernando Ortigoza, a member of the United Association for the Disappeared in Baja California, shared his own experience with his son’s unsolved disappearance. His son’s case is a bit unique, he said. It happened on the U.S. side of the border, just a short distance from the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.

Ortigoza’s son, Jose Alberto Ortigoza, was last seen on Jan. 24, 2014, crossing the Otay Mesa border checkpoint. He had crossed into the United States to conduct business on behalf of his employer — something he did regularly. When his boss dropped him off at the port of entry, that was the last anyone saw or heard from him.

“I don’t know if my son is alive or dead,” Ortigoza said. He and many other parents have given up hope that authorities will help them, especially those in Tijuana and Baja California.

When they do lobby, he said, they go straight to the federal government in Mexico City, and very often, they’re forced to search for their children by themselves, even if it means putting themselves in danger.

“The love of a parent has no fear,” he said.
