Juan Almanza Zavala and Janette "JJ" Pantoja

Leading up to their disappearance on August 6 2022, Pantoja and Zavala had spent the day at Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada. They were expected to return home on August 7. Even though they had decided to end their relationship years earlier, the duo remained close, so it was not unusual for them to go to various events together.

That night, Pantoja had texted her current boyfriend around 11:00 PM to tell him that she would be home in approximately 30 minutes. However, she never arrived. Within half an hour, she had stopped sharing her location. "She just never communicated anything other than that," stated her sister, Alejandra Pantoja, adding, "She's not like that."

After officials learned of the former couple's disappearance, Yuba City police began examining the data left behind by their cell phones. At that time, they learned that their phones had last pinged in Nevada County, California. However, a search of the surrounding area failed to provide any immediate answers.

After nearly two weeks of searching, Pantoja and Zavala's bodies were discovered outside of a blue 2002 Ford Explorer after a man called 911 and reported the vehicle. While Pantoja was quickly identified, Zavala was initially "tentatively identified" due to the extensive nature of his injuries. Aside from that statement, little is known about the cause of death.

Initially, the crash site had not been visible from the road and was "significantly covered by brush." Upon investigation, it was determined that the vehicle had seemingly travelled down the side of a highway barrier along Highway 20. Nevada County Sheriff's deputies and California Highway Patrol officers also found skid marks in the dirt of the highway before locating the vehicle.

The case is unsolved.
