Son of Astros coach Jose Cruz missing

(5/31/06 - KTRK/KATY, TX) (KTRK) -- He's a beloved Houston sports icon. And this morning, Equusearch is looking for one of his sons. The 34-year-old son of Astros coach Jose Cruz is missing.

Jose Javier Cruz, 34, was last seen at his home about 12 days ago. But a pickup truck registered to his wife was found burned out near Katy Mills Mall about ten days ago and now Equusearch volunteers are searching the area around the mall for Cruz.

Cruz is part of a very well-known baseball family. His father is an Astros coach and former star with the team. His half-brother plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jose Javier Cruz is an Hispanic male about six-feet tall and about 170 pounds. If you have any information about where he may be, you're asked to call Houston police.
