Gutierrez is a transient with a known gambling addiction. He told his friend Hector Munoz that he needed money to repay some loan sharks. He is dependent on social security checks, and uses Munoz's address to receive them. He had not picked up the last two checks so he contacted the family. The family contacted the El Delfin in Mexico, and they had no record of Gutierrez staying there in the last 2 months.
