The family and friends of 55-year-old Jimmy Rodriguez organized a search party Saturday morning.

Rodriguez was last seen January 24th around 5 p.m.

Family tells Local News 8 and KIDK Eyewitness News 3 that Rodriguez lives near Garcia's restaurant in Idaho Falls, but was last seen near the grain and fertilizer silos on Lindsay Boulevard north of Outback Steakhouse.

The family says an Idaho Falls Power truck dropped him off at his last seen location.

There’s basically I-15 to the west and the Snake River to the east in that location.

Strange detail. Why would an Idaho Falls Power truck be dropping him off? Did he ask to be dropped off there?

boo to the mugshot missing flyer.

I didn't even notice that it was a mugshot photo. I do know he has loved ones that were actively searching for him today.

4' 11" is astonishingly short for an adult man, though obviously well above the height of a dwarf. I thought it must be a mistake, and that he is 5' 11", until I saw him standing against the scale in the poster.

Can someone explain why the location is significant? As well as being by the silos it was also in front of a motel.

I'm not sure, perhaps info the locals know. I do have the location of the restaurant referenced in the write up above and it is near snake river.

So no suspicion of foul play. It sounds as though he had multiple health problems.

This has been overtaken by events, but

Where he was dropped off is industrial, not much there commercially. I wasn't aware the Motel 6 was there. The RV Park is more of a place where people are living out of vehicles for stretches of time. Now I see that he had been spending time at the Roadside Inn. In fairness, I've never been there, but I have heard it's a gathering place for some hard-core drinkers.

ETA: My best guess is the family thought it was suspcious that he was back in the area of the Roadside Inn. He probably wasn't supposed to be drinking on top of whatever health problems he had.
