Vanished on Spring Break: The Mysterious Disappearance of Reny Jose

Reny Jose was a brilliant mechanical engineering student at the very selective Rice University in March 2014.

Not only was Reny a senior with a 4.0-grade point average, but he also had plans for his future job and had already purchased some business suits, worked on his resume, and even printed business cards.

Reny Jose was a go-getter with a bright future.

He was a studious student, and not a ‘partyer’ by many college students’ standards. However, in March 2014, he wanted to go away for spring break with some friends for one last hurrah.

His mom was happy to hear he would go have some fun for a week, and told him so, while also telling him to be careful.

Reny and 22 other students left Rice University in Houston, Texas on March 1, 2014, and headed to Panama City Beach.

Two days later, something was very wrong.

On the morning of March 3, some kids from the group noticed that Reny hadn’t been seen in a while. Someone recalled last seeing him at 7:00 p.m. the previous evening.

It wasn’t until later in the day when Reny’s clothing was found in the trash can at the rental home the students were staying at, they decided to call authorities.
