Rodriguez-Hernandez was last seen in Jerome, Idaho on July 4, 2005. He left his home for work at 8:30 a.m. He was later seen leaving his place of work, the Bettencourt Dairy, at 4:30 p.m., which is his normal departure time, but his employer stated Rodriguez-Hernandez did not work that day. He has never been heard from again.

Rodriguez-Hernandez is described as a reliable person and his disappearance is uncharacteristic. He may be driving a two-tone blue 1987 GMC pickup truck with Idaho license plates numbered 2J 13769 and the vehicle identification number (VIN) 1GTEV14K8HJ520364. Authorities do not believe Rodriguez-Hernandez met with foul play, but the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear and his case remains unsolved.
