Overview
- Officers responding to a suspicious-circumstances call found a severely decomposed body in a parked two-door Nissan Frontier near Francis Drive and McKee Road in East San Jose on March 21.
- The Santa Clara County medical examiner has the remains, which have not been identified because of advanced decomposition.
- Police say the truck is registered to 40-year-old Aldama Refugio Jr. of San Jose, who was reported missing after he was last seen in early 2026.

- Detectives ask anyone who saw Refugio or the red pickup, or who has information, to contact Detective Sgt. Taylor or Detective Van Brande at 408-504-1326 or by email.
