On August 12, 2008 at 6:00 am, Hector was last seen leaving his brother's home and getting on the redline bus in Mesa for an unknown destination. According to family, Hector has never done this before or has left without contacting them. At the time of his disappearance, he was in a volatile relationship with his girlfriend. The day before, she allegedly ran over his foot during an argument.
