He was reportedly seen leaving work at 4:30 p.m. that day although his employer said he didn’t show up for work. His wife told police it was highly unusual for him to not come home.

Last updated March 10, 2021; details of disappearance updated.

Details of Disappearance
Rodriguez-Hernandez was last seen in Jerome, Idaho on July 4, 2005. He left his home for work at 8:30 a.m. He was later seen leaving his place of work, the Bettencourt Dairy, at 4:30 p.m., which is his normal departure time, but his employer stated Rodriguez-Hernandez did not work that day. He has never been heard from again.

At the time of his disappearance, Rodriguez-Hernandez was driving a two-tone blue 1987 GMC pickup truck with the Idaho license plate number 2J 13769 and the vehicle identification number 1GTEV14K8HJ520364. It was found abandoned in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store in Las Vegas, Nevada two weeks later. It had been wiped clean of fingerprints and everything, including coins he kept in the truck cab and tools from the toolbox, was gone. He also left behind his paycheck, wedding ring, clothing and Chevrolet Camaro.

A person told Rodriguez-Hernandez's stepdaughter that a man at the dairy had shot Rodriguez-Hernandez in the back of the head, rolled his body up in a carpet, and drove away with the body in the back of Rodriguez-Hernandez's own pickup truck. A death certificate has been issued for him; the cause of death was given as a gunshot wound to the head.

Rodriguez-Hernandez is described as a reliable person, and his disappearance is uncharacteristic. Although police are investigating his case as a possible homicide, they are also looking into the theory that he left the country voluntarily. His case remains unsolved.

So odd that a death certificate has been issued with the cause of death as gunshot wound to the head. Maybe there is more to this case than has been reported. I don't understand how they would go on the word of a person. If it's true that this happened at the dairy it seems like there would be evidence or witnesses. It says Rodriguez-Hernandez was last seen in Jerome, Idaho on July 4, 2005. He left his home for work at 8:30 a.m. He was later seen leaving his place of work, the Bettencourt Dairy, at 4:30 p.m., which is his normal departure time, but his employer stated he did not work that day. He has never been heard from again.
There has to be evidence on whether he was working that day or not like a time card. It all seems so suspicious and why would his employer say he didn't work that day? I feel like this could be a solvable case.
