Jose Nava - through Oct 2020

this guy has distinct eyes, they only described them as brown but it is the more uncommon amongst Mexican/Mexican Americans of hazel and droopy known as "sad eyes" they should include that in his descriptors. sadly idk that he is with us, he has been radio silent.

Post includes a short video of a search done for Jose and it also includes a link to an article with info on things found during a search. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough Spanish to translate the article to see if the info shared is found in this particular article (linked below).

I did come across this article however.

SHERIFF: Several hundred volunteers searching for missing man from Mississippi

He was wearing a gray Champion-branded sweatshirt and brown khaki shorts, officials said.
...
Lopez says last week Nava’s car was found in Marshall County near exit 18 on I-22 in Victoria, MS, locked and empty. Not far away from the car, she says they found bullet casings and even traces of blood.

“We found some shoes too where his car was parked, but police say it wasn’t enough to suspect foul play,” said Lopez.

bullet casings and blood but not considered foul play???

The area where he disappeared I don't feel is super safe for a Hispanic man, specifically knocking on doors and stepping on someone's property. That is small town, racist Mississippi, and if this was a blonde, blue eyed Ole Miss student he would have already been located. I live down the road and never heard of this case until coming on here, so Marshall county is not blowing up this story whatsoever.

I've just had a look on Google Street View and the whole area is a lot more desolate and rural than I imagined.

Even the part of Red Sands where there are a few houses, stores and a church, is all very very spread out and tiny. It's all wide and flat open too.

I've enclosed 4 screenshots so you can all get a better idea yourselves.

He would have had to walk quite a way to get to help out, and there aren't many places to run and hide if someone took a liking to do something nefarious.

Not many people around, so I can't imagine many, if any, witnesses.
Also at that time in the morning, probably just a few trucks passing that way.

How sad he needed help, and no-one gave it.

There is a Texaco gas station at the I-22 turn-off in Red Sands.....he must've headed a different way or had already passed it. That would've been my first place to go for help.

Are they going to check the blood and bullet casing maybe? Whose gun was it that fired the shot?...Who did the blood belong to?

Yes, it's shocking the police didn't think it was suspicious!
Surely this should've been checked out as standard police practice?!

 

[swedeheart]

Any ideas why his shoes would have been off of his feet and outside the car?

If a bloody bullet casing, and the fact the he is still a missing person, is not enough to suspect foul play, then I'm not sure what would. Terrible.

They were Crocs, so it wouldn't have taken much for them to come off, they're slip on/off rubber shoes....I had a pair once and had trouble getting them to stay on my feet at all!

Also, if someone has no shoes on, they're not going to be running away or going very far. Maybe the shoes were taken off on purpose, so he'd go nowhere fast and sadly, be easier to abduct.

MOO.

Can we not indicted every person in the entire state as racist, please?

<Modsnip Quoted Post>

They called it a racist state, which it is no more racist than any other state I have lived in. Not less safe for black and brown folks than any other state I have lived in. My wonderful black and brown friends laugh at this. We love our community and we love each other. Now, do I think someone may have harmed this young man because they distrusted him due to his skin tone? It's highly likely. But that does not mean that the person who harmed him looks the way you might think. Stereotyping works both ways and it does not help to solve a case when people get stuck in broad generalizations. It can sometimes lead to tunnel vision which leads to a cold case.

I don't want to get side tracked on this and detract from Jose's thread, but I will say that it does not help matters to insult an entire group of people in one post, many of whom frequent this board.

I haven't found any updates on Jose's disappearance. The Help Jose Ramon Nava Return Home FB group hasn't had any posts since March. Maybe LE is investigating so they've asked his family to lay low for a bit? Jose and his loved ones are still in my prayers.

 

[annpats]

I don't think this case will have a good outcome. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm so sad for this poor man. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's just sad. Sad that someone nasty came along, instead of someone to help him.

I’ve checked again & there still hasn’t been any new info of any kinds posted on the FB group..no activity on the page at all since March.

 

[YaYa_521]

Jose is still missing.

 

[annpats]

It's so very sad.....and someone knows what happened and can live with that in their conscience. That's awful. Evil.

 

[lindamichelle1]

Couldnt find any updates, but the FB page being used to find him has now been deleted.
