Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP40175)
Andres Muniz Orta, a 29-year-old man, was last seen in McAllen, Texas, on June 14, 2017. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as standing 5'0" tall, weighing around 200 pounds, with black hair. Despite efforts by local law enforcement and organizations like the Texas Department of Public Safety, his case remains unsolved.

Orta's disappearance was officially listed with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), which collaborates with local authorities to gather any available leads. However, very few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been made public. It remains unclear if there were any indications of foul play or specific events that might have led to his vanishing.

The public is encouraged to come forward with any information that could help law enforcement in their ongoing investigation. This case, like many others in Texas, highlights the difficulties law enforcement faces in resolving missing person cases, especially when leads are limited. The Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse continues to work on his case in the hope of finding answers for Orta's family and loved ones.
