The Baja California Attorney General’s Office (FGE) has issued a public alert asking for help locating Francisco Vivanco González, a 48-year-old man who disappeared from Ensenada’s El Roble subdivision on May 9.
Vivanco was last seen in the residential neighborhood, located in the southeastern part of the city. The FGE released a physical description and photograph to aid the search.
Physical Description and Identifying Marks
Authorities describe Vivanco as 1.70 meters tall (about 5 feet 7 inches) and approximately 70 kilograms (154 pounds). He has a dark complexion, dark brown eyes, and close-cropped dark brown hair.
Several distinctive features could help identify him. He has a deviated nose and multiple tattoos, including a charra figure on his stomach, the Mexican eagle national seal on his left arm, and the word “Paisa” on his head.
How to Report Information
The FGE is asking anyone with information about Vivanco’s whereabouts to contact Baja California state law enforcement directly. The office has not disclosed the circumstances surrounding his disappearance or whether foul play is suspected.
El Roble is a working-class subdivision on the outskirts of Ensenada, roughly 70 miles south of the U.S. border at Tijuana. The neighborhood sits east of the main highway corridor that connects the city center to points south along the Transpeninsular Highway.
Missing Persons Cases in Baja California
Missing persons cases remain a persistent concern across Baja California. The FGE routinely issues public search alerts, known as “cédulas de búsqueda,” when individuals are reported missing. These alerts are distributed through official channels and local media to broaden the search effort.
Baja California has one of the higher rates of disappearances in Mexico. The state’s search commissions and prosecutors regularly call on the public to report any sightings, as community tips have proven critical in resolving cases.
Anyone with information about Francisco Vivanco González can contact the FGE through its offices in Ensenada or via its emergency reporting lines. The case was first reported by Ensenada.net.
