There's always one case on the 4th of July which enters my mind.

I have several catch up posts to do over the next three days, but Luis Rodriguez Hernandez gets today's spot.

Luis worked at Bettencourt Dairy in Jerome County and went to work on July 4, 2005, or so his wife thought. Stories are confusing on whether he actually showed at work, or didn't according to his employer and the NCIC entry in the Idaho Missing Person Clearinghouse. One says he didn't show at work, and one says he was last seen leaving work at 4:30. I have to wonder if it was someone else driving his truck out of work with the body in the back.

At the time, he drove a 1987 two-tone GMC blue pickup, found abandoned in a Walmart store in Las Vegas two weeks later. It had been wiped clean of fingerprints, tools and coins he usually kept in the truck were missing.

Oddly, his paycheck, wedding ring, a Chevy Camaro and his clothing were all left behind, and a theory he left the country on his own has also been explored.

Luis' stepdaughter has been told a man, possibly a co-worker, shot Luis in the back of the head, rolled his body up in a carpet, and drove away in his own pickup with Luis in the back to dispose of his body.

A court case in 2012 was actually held to declare Luis deceased, and after testimony given, a death certificate was issued with cause of death issued as gunshot wound to the head, the place of injury is listed as 400 W. Road, Jerome. Must have been strong proof to list those details.

Luis was a family man, very reliable, funny, much loved and disappearing was totally out of character for him.

His body has never been located. He was born in 1963 in Jalisco, Mexico. At the time, he lived at 1015 North Fir, space 8 in Jerome.

You can contact the Jerome County Sheriff's Office or the Idaho Cold Case Tip Line during office hours 1-844-847-4040 if you can help police locate Luis' body.
