Hundreds of volunteers today searched a massive area of Natomas looking for missing teen Sergio Jimenez.
The search started at the Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep campus on Del Paso Road, where the 17-year-old was last seen at about 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2
“This is incredible – the support,” NP3 principal Tom Rutten told those gathered in the school gymnasium.
An estimated 800 volunteers divided into three separate groups searching the agricultural fields, drainage canals, unfinished housing developments and roadways around the school and south toward San Juan Road where Jimenez lives.
Sergio is described as 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing 145 pounds. He was last seen wearing black jeans, a light gray Polo shirt, and black-and-gray classic style Vans. He also had on a charcoal gray Vans zip-up hooded sweatshirt with small back stripes. He had with him a large, black Jansport backpack. Sergio always wears two necklaces – a choker made of black twine with a cross and and a brown scapular with two religious pictures. He wears black, Ray Ban glasses.
Students, parents, teachers, community members and others were looking for any sign the teen might have walked home the day he disappeared. Volunteers reported any findings back to Sacramento Police detectives and also noted any surveillance cameras spotted during the search which might hold video with clues to Jimenez’s whereabouts.
Additional police officers were on hand to process any clues found during the search as were Reclamation District No. 1000 and Sacramento City utilities workers and a Sacramento Sheriff’s Dept. search and rescue canine unit.
