Officers found a 50-inch television had been removed from his bedroom along with his sheets and the contents of a safe.
Diaz has type one diabetes and, at the time of his disappearance, had a serious foot injury that required him to use crutches. He also has a bear claw tattoo on his inner left forearm.
El Cajon Police joined Diaz’ friends and relatives for a door-to-door search near his home in 2015.
