Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28442)
Silvia Rivera Alvarez, a 31-year-old woman from Honduras, was last seen on June 3, 2014, near Falfurrias, Texas. She was attempting to cross into the United States as part of a large group of migrants. After crossing from Matamoros, Mexico, she and others spent about eight days in McAllen, Texas, before beginning their journey on foot through the South Texas brushlands, aiming to reach Falfurrias.

During the trek, Silvia became severely dehydrated. She was reportedly left behind with another woman, and neither have been seen since. Authorities have categorized her case as a missing person, and organizations like the South Texas Human Rights Center continue efforts to recover and identify missing individuals in the region, including Silvia. Despite efforts, no new information has emerged about her whereabouts.

Silvia’s case highlights the dangers faced by migrants crossing through remote areas, where extreme conditions and lack of resources often lead to tragic outcomes. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement as her family continues to seek closure.
