Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office Seeks Help Finding Missing 61-Year-Old Man
The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office is urgently seeking the public’s help in locating a missing person, 61-year-old Jose Luis Saldivar. He was last seen on February 1st, around 1:00 p.m. in the rural area of Mile 12.5 North Road and FM 493, near Donna, Texas.
Saldivar’s disappearance is concerning, as he suffered a stroke last year, which has significantly impacted his ability to walk and communicate. His condition increases the urgency of his situation, and authorities are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward immediately.
A Growing Concern for the Family and Community
Jose Luis Saldivar’s family and local law enforcement are deeply worried about his well-being, given his medical condition. The stroke has made it difficult for him to communicate and move around without assistance, which further complicates his potential to be found without the help of the community.
“We are doing everything we can to locate him, but we need the public’s eyes and ears to help,” said a representative from the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office. “His health and safety are of the utmost importance, and we are concerned about the risk he faces being alone in this condition.”
Authorities have been working to track his last known movements, but his current whereabouts remain unknown.

The Sheriff’s Office is actively searching in the area around Mile 12.5 North Road and FM 493, but with the public’s help, they hope to expand their search and increase the chances of locating Saldivar safely.
A Reminder to Stay Alert
Local residents are encouraged to stay alert and report any sightings of Jose Luis Saldivar to the authorities as soon as possible. Community involvement is key in cases like this, and it’s vital that everyone remain vigilant in helping locate those who may be at risk.
