Derek Hernandez, 33, left his home in Hesperia on Tuesday, March 5, 2019, at around 11:20 a.m. He said that he was heading to a home near Beech and Hibiscus Avenues in the City of Fontana.

His cell phone has no usage since he has been missing. Also, he has not used any debit or credit cards since he left on March 5th. He did not take his eyeglasses with him when he left, his family said.

All hospitals and jails have been checked and he is not at any of them. His vehicle, a black 2014 Nissan Versa with tinted windows, has not been towed. The license plate on his vehicle is 7GMT652. His vehicle has white scratches across the top of the trunk and has had other body work done.

Derek was unemployed at the time, but was preparing to attend Victor Valley College to get certified in construction. Derek is 33-years-old and his family fears that he may be in danger or that he may already hurt. He is 5’10”, around 200 pounds, he is bald, has a beard, and green eyes.

The article in the opening post states that he was heading to a home near Beech and Hibiscus Avenues in Fontana. A subsequent article from March 20 mentions that he was last seen in the area of Beech Avenue between Merrill and Athol Avenues (which includes Hibiscus Avenue).

It is unclear if he actually met with the friend or was just seen in the area, but the sighting is very close to his destination. It the two did meet, would the friend know where he was going next? If something happened to him, it was either in Fontana or on the way back /somewhere else. What are the chances that he had a car accident and has not been found yet? Were there any searches conducted along the route between Hesperia and Fontana?

His family keeps posting appeals on fb with virtually no new info from early on, but lots of pictures of him.

Public's help is sought in search for missing Hesperia man who was last seen in Fontana
