Thanks for finding that! What struck me about this was he was arrested at almost 3 in the morning in Riverside in May His fiance/mother of his child says he didn't know anyone in Riverside. The night he was arrested he was in Riverside - I don't think anyone drives 30 miles just to drink at a different bar. He had to know someone there. A coworker, a friend, but someone.

Well, to be fair, the arrest was in Riverside County - I don’t think I see that it also said Riverside City. It’s possible but not necessarily. MOO

I think this is important to note because Riverside County is quite large. If he was arrested in Riverside (the city) it might make a case that he knows someone there. However, Riverside is a rather sizable city he would pass through between his house and his uncle's. The intersection his car was found at is the entrance to a good sized neighborhood. Maybe he was visiting someone or possibly dropping someone off.

Details of Disappearance​

Orellana was last seen on July 21, 2024. The previous day, he'd been to visit his uncle in Perris, California, and at 3:52 a.m. on July 21, his grilfriend got a missed call from him. She tried to contact him back, but never got an answer. He has never been heard from again.

After his disappearance, his white Chrysler was found wrecked and abandoned along Barton Street and Santa Inez Way in an isolated area of Riverside, California, 35 miles from his home in Upland, California. The vehicle had struck a pole, but not hard enough for the airbags to deploy, and was left partially in the roadway. At about 5:00 a.m. another driver collided with Orellana's car; the driver said there was no one inside it at the time.

Authorities found Orellana's cellular phone and his security guard uniform inside his car, but not his wallet. He doesn't know anyone in Riverside, according to his family. It's uncharacteristic of him to be out of touch; he usually spoke to his mother multiple times a day. His disappearance remains unsolved. Both Upland and Riverside police are investigating.
